I want to do some recording for podcast. We will be sitting around a table. Using a mix board and headphones. Do you think these mics would be decent?

They are good, but very sensitive regarding angle and range, so you will have to prep your guests/co-hosts for distance and angle. The polar pattern is somewhat unforgiving to the person using the mic, but easy for the person mixing. These mics require a decent amount of gain. My Allen & Heath Zed10-FX can drive them with gain turned up to about 85%, which is nuts since this low-end board has mid-range quality preamps that are generally reviewed highly for their ability to drive even the SM7B without an external preamp. Be advised.

how does it connect to an amp?

You need a mixing board to connect to an amplifier. A very few amps have a mike connection where you can plug a mike directly into an amp and I have a DVD player that has 2 mike connections. Ordinarily you need a mixing board to plug one or more mikes into an amp. The mixing board I have is a Behringer 1202FX which is an excellent compact mixer and it connects to an amp with either a stereo RCA cable or stereo 1/4" plugs/cable using an auxillary or any analog line input.

What type of amplifier do I need to use with these mics? I just need a mic for lectures, not music.

When I purchased the Mics Bundle I also purchased the Yamaha MG102C 10-input Stereo Mixer Bundle W/(2) 20' XLR balanced Cables for mics & (2) 18.6' Instrument Cables The Yamaha stereo mixer is a very good pre-amp, mixer, with good tone controls. The out-put of this mixer-amp I then connect it even to a simple guitar amplifier of 20 watts, and I get a very good P.A. system going, and it serves so well for a gathering of 50 to 70 people in a hall, or a picnic spot, or family get-togethers. The point to always remember is to keep the mics/use the mics behind the speakers, or maximum just in line with the speakers facing the audience. If you step ahead of the speakers, then the volume should be reduced or you will get feed-back - the howling screeching sound over the speakers. The Power amplifier I would suggest to purchase is Behringer EUROPOWER EP4000 Professional 4,000-Watt Stereo Power Amplifier with Atr (Accelerated Transient Response) Technology by Behringer. You would have to purchase a pair of 2000-watts speaker boxes too.
