Best budget pocast set up?

[wisex]

Hello everyone, so I've been wanting to start a podcast for a while at this point, but truth of the matter is that I don't know the first thing about audio equipment. Personally since this is a starter set up I'm not looking to spend like $300 on a single mic, but I would want a set up that can comfortably have two people on at one time? Do you have any recommendations or a website that can list some good options for me?

2x Audio-Techinica AT2020

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 or honestly any xlr mixer that isnt too cheap.

 

to sit 2 people podcast style, i.e. to say sitting across each other on a table, it is better to have 2 seperate mic sources.

I would grab a pair of Shure SM58, which are pretty much the standard in vocal recording. https://www.shure.com/en-GB/products/microphones/sm58

 

Then a small interface which will be simpler than a mixer and what not. A Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 will do great, or if you want to go cheaper a SubZero AI2 USB will also work perfectly fine.
