SM58 in studio - Phil Anselmo (Pantera) springs to mind, though perhaps his mic technique is good

IF the Shure broadcast mic was the SM7b - I'm pretty sure that has a built-in pop filter so perhaps you'll get worse results with a 58 - def don't use a 57.

Suggestion - get him to hold mic with both hands 6-8 inches away from his head and tell him to use that as part of the performance... Thats how I always do my own vox!

Use a decent high headroom mic pre/EQ and dial out the freqs where most of the pops are (without making him sound thin)

...and don't be afraid to compress on the way in a lot if necessary.

I've had great results doing this with a Behringer Composer... yes a b***r***er
