Just curious about what is a decent brand of podcast equipment to buy. What are the recommendations of what equipment to buy and what to avoid that’s not necessarily needed. This is for a beginner. Thanks in advance.

Shure mikes. You can get good ones for $100 each. Sony headphones, same price or so. Try to go the XLR route. Sounds much better than USB. Much better. That means avoiding the yeti mikes

The secret sauce: get a zoom recorder. $250. BH Photo site
Audacity is free, open source software most podcasters use. It's free. On apple, logic pro if you want to spend the money on an app although GarageBand is fine but clunkier.
Get a splitter so you can connect multiple headphones to the recorder.
Get pop filters for mikes.
This is all for audio only podcast.

I used Newer microphones and stand for a long time. Behringer mixer. Rhode is a really good brand.

One of my favorite YouTube subscriptions (football guy) uses OBS software for his live shows, and Adobe Pro for his pre-recorded stuff so he has even more extensive edit ability. My son is working on his own podcast someday (he's in practice mode) and has mastered OBS. It's free. Hours and hours of tutorials out there. Having a background in music recording terminology makes it more intuitive. If you don't have that background, the learning curve is higher just learning the software.
Buying the hardware is the easy part. Shure as mentioned before is a tried and true quality product, as is Audio Technica. 99% of every live musical performance you've ever seen, or every comedian you've ever seen on stage, is through a $100 Shure SM-58 vocal mic. Studio mic-ing in music recording can get much nerdier, but for just talking into a microphone, I echo the guy above saying Shure.

Yes but Adobe is expensive.
