    The podcast will be mainly an interview show with guests over skype, in person, or on the phone. I want to have the guests record their audio on their end as well if they are remote.

    There are good things that can happen by using both.

    I'd recommend the mixer.
    I thought that an audio interface would work, and got a Behringer UMC202HD. Not a high end one I understand, but...
    All I wanted was to be able to record quality audio with two mics.
    The audio interface I find is no different than having two sub powered mics plugged in to the PC.

    Maybe you'll have better luck with a more expensive audio interface, but the preamps on the Behringer were supposed to be decent and I find the volume of either a dynamic or condenser mic is way too low. Regardless of phantom power.

    I think there's a reason most info online focuses on mixers, and I think it's because they are the best option.

    Good luck! I wish someone would have steered me towards a mixer first.
