For some reason if my microphone is on my desk it will make a loud humming noise but if it's anywhere else it will pick up a radio signal of a religion channel. 0_o Anyone know why and how to fix it?
A combination of both most likely. A better quality mic with a better shielded cable (or better yet using balanced XLR connections) would probably solve the problem. Or you could try wrapping the cord around a ferrite ring, that often helps prevent interference.
Well it's a big bit of wire, aka an aerial. Unfortunately these sorts of problems can be a massive pain in the ass to resolve.
True story: when I was young my dad had a hi-fi system that picked-up Russian radio when the weather was right.
Ding, ding, ding!
The mic acts as an antenna basically, and picks up all sorts of interference. This usually happens when it is of poor quality and the wires are not shielded.

Would Electrical tape help? (Probably a stupid question :P)
I know a little about radio interference since I have my amateur radio licence, but you don't know a lot about humour.. do you? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humour

I know enough about humor to understand that you're trying to be sarcastic. It appears you're aiming at my previous post, so I defend it. Pretty straightforward, if you ask me.

No, I wasn't being sarcastic.... I'm sorry you took it that way.
Just thought a tinfoil hat would be funny..... right? am I right?
I don't know but it is, I can give you proof if needed.
The brand is
CAD U1 USB Dynamic Recording Microphone
So is it the Microphone or where I live?
No USB wired.
So it's the cord? That's weird. o_o

No but aluminium foil may help. If you have some, there's no harm in trying
Aluminum foil will definitely help, fashion it in the shape of a hat because I think you're picking up alien signals.
You don't seem to know a lot about EMI, do you?

Then it was a misunderstanding, my excuses. Weird things happen to humor once it's written down.
So was the foil an idea or not?
Foil was indeed a real idea. Wearing it as a hat was not a real idea however.
2 or 3 months.A long-ass time.Oh boy, visual basic. I can barely contain my excitement. Not.
Me too. Mine was homemade, and I keep getting my YouTube vids demonetized for copyrighted music playing.
