Microphones
The most important piece of equipment for podcasting is a microphone. It has an impact on the sound quality and can help you save time in post-production.
Difference between USB and XLR Mics
USB microphones are specifically made to operate with computers directly. They are Plug & Play mics. It's the simplest approach to get started, and it'll suffice for the majority of solo podcasts.
High-end microphones are usually XLR Mics, which need to use an audio interface or mixer. This gives you much more control over your recording and sound. Some microphones come with both USB and XLR inputs, which makes them very versatile.

Audio Interfaces & Mixers
Microphone/ Instrument signals need to be converted into a format that your computer and software can understand. This is the core job of an Audio Interface / Mixer.
Audio from your PC is also sent through the interface to your headphones and studio monitors. A good Interface will dictate the quality of your overall podcast / recording.
