For the longest time, the Zoom H5 has been my top recommendation to start podcasting on a budget. It has two XLR ports built in and can even be extended to feature up to 4 ports but that recommendation may change, now that the Zoom PodTrak P4 is on the market. But don't throw away your H5 yet it still has some advantages over the P4.
