Here in the US, the Procaster is ~$230 and the Podmic is ~$100.... so you could pick up two of the podmics for less than the cost of 1 procaster. However, the podmic is sold out and backordered pretty much everywhere. You can place an order for it, but no clue when it'll arrive :). As far as audio interfaces are concerned, as long as you have one with a decently low EIN and a good dynamic range (i.e. 100dbA range) you really don't need to worry about a separate preamp like a CL or Fethead. So, pretty much your Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, your Behringer UMC202HD, Audient iD14 etc will all be able to drive the mics. You can certainly add a preamp or channel strip if you wish, but they aren't a necessity. The dbx 286s is a great piece of kit, giving you the real time effects processing in hardware, along with a good amount of gain from the preamp.

I recently bought both Podmic and Procaster to compare. There is two options : If you don't mind to speak 2cm (1 inch) from the microphone, most of interface can get over the -57db, such as focusrite scarlett gen3 with its +56db gain, or anything similar to this But if you don't like to have the microphone in your mouth or being inaudible when you are 5cm (2 inches) away from your microphone then you should get an Cloudlifter or Fethead which is cheaper (but still expensive), that should allow you to move pretty far away from the microphone and being still hearable. All of this can get as expensive (or much expensive) as the microphone itself so if its too much for you, you should go for microphone that don't need thoses massives boost of gain.

Some settings you can get it to sound like the 400.00 Shure SM7B. Most videos or streamers are using these with GOXLR's or Focusrites mixers, cool, but damn you connect these to Rode's Rodecaster Pro for podcasting, it doesn't take long to figure out the settings to get a really crisp natural sound.
