Here is a proposed equipment bundle for your 2 host, 1-2 guest podcast setup: For audio interfaces, I recommend the Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen at R2695 which allows you to connect 2 microphones and monitors. It's an industry standard for small podcasts. For microphones, consider the Rode Podmic at R2599 - a dynamic mic known for great audio quality. You'll need 2 of these, one each for your hosts. As a cheaper option, the Microlab G6 Pro at R309 is fine for guests. It connects via USB so is easy for visitors. Finally, the Xenyx 1202SFX mixer at R3500 would let you control audio levels and add effects hands-free. This bundle covers all the essentials for clear, professional recordings within your budget. Let me know if you need any other recommendations! Apologies, my search results were limited but I hope this proposed setup is helpful.
