DA I have a Blue Snowball that I really like. I got mine for about $70 CAD, but I believe you can find them for slightly cheaper if you're in the states.
I looked around at a lot of recs before I bought it--if you google "podcast mic recs" or something along those lines, you should be able to find some good lists. Some of the recommendations are going to be a lot pricier, though. A lot of people rec mics like Blue's Yeti, which is a few hundred dollars, so probably not ideal if you've got a smaller budget or just want something decent for a hobby.
I'd also recommend looking into making a homemade pop filter (super cheap and easy to do) and also some of the tutorials on recording tips and tricks. And then just do lots of sound tests, try things out, and make sure you have someone who can do a good job editing things down. Also, a few test episodes probably wouldn't be amiss. It takes awhile to get a feel for things, and you can always ask friends for feedback and get an idea of what does and doesn't work.
