You may have better luck if you specify what low budget means to you. The latest iPhone Pro is better than some of the entry level cameras, especially if you weren't planning to splurge for a nice prime lens.

I think the cheapest you should go is the Sony EV-10 plus Sigma 16mm 1.4 lens. If those are more than you want to spend, stick with your phone camera because you won't see enough improvement to make it worthwhile.

In either case, watch some YouTube videos about podcast lighting because that will matter more than your camera.

When I google the EV-10, I get results for the ZV-E10. I assume they are the same camera, why do people call it the EV-10?

The ZV-E10 can live stream up to 720p over USB-C (1), is that sufficient?

If you need full hd streaming, get a cheap hdmi-to-usb adapter and you could use even older cameras (sony started supporting webcam only around a6300), with simultaneous recording and streaming.

Does it need live stream or would recording to the camera be sufficient? Can it do both at the same time?

Slightly cheaper but also very similar to the EV-10 would be a second hand Sony a6000/a6300.
