Both are objectively good it just depends what sound you are going after Podmic has more clarity, Procaster has more low ends, which will suit it well for an am radio vibe
Nah. Get yourself a refurb Scarlett Solo on Focusrite's website (2 year warranty!) for a hundo or something like an open box Audient Evo 4. Then get a Klark Teknik CT1 preamp for 29-35 bucks. You've got a great setup there for $135 all in.
