Pretty sure I've got you beat...

I know a few stand up comedians who use these to record their sets to listen back to later.

I have used both, each good for different reasons/applications. The ROAD is probably superior for your use case because you can clip one to each of you.

Cool taser bro
Though I don't conduct interviews: I've used a Zoom H6 to record musical sketches, found sounds, and field recordings for samples for years. Love it! Simple, durable, and sounds great.
Minor gripe: no USB-C.

This is simply anecdotal evidence from watching a lot of videos, but that Tascam is hyper sensitive and catches a LOT of pops. ASMR folks use them because of this so you could do a search and see how they perform -- not sure you want to mess with post production fixing that.
As for the Rodes, those seem to be the go-to for TikTok/Reels/Shorts folks. I'm into the fragrance community and almost all of those dudes use that exact model.
Appreciate this insight! Although I have been told my podcast is basically Bitcoin ASMR 😂
I was looking into a similar thing. For the pod you essentially need two close mics, ruling out the field recorder setup. Rode wireless pro would be my choice, but with my search i also came across the Tascam FR-AV2 which lets you use your own mics and can also sync timecode.
Both of those would be good. Zoom’s been putting out super reliable products forever now. They’re worth a look.
I use a Zoom F8 for almost everything.
Are you taking the video rig with you?
Highly highly recommend something with 32-bit float like the zoom h6essential
It’s magical never having to worry about clipping or excessive noise floor, almost like a cheat code
Source: I own the old h6 and also an f6 (which has 32-bit float)
The rode wireless pro is popular but you might also look at the DJI mic 2. But you only want to use that for on-the-go video stuff, walking around etc. They’ll never sound as good as proper full sized mics for a podcast.
@walker I’m about to get one of these as a failsafe.
