Recording Phone Interviews Digitally Using Skype and Other Mac Software

Glenn Fleishman, in MacDevCenter.com: How to Record a Podcast provides a really cool sounding, Mac-based software / hardware architecture for recording phone interviews directly to MP3, for potential usage in podcasted shows. Here's his business case,

"In my line of work as a freelance reporter in Seattle, I spend most of the time that I'm not testing hardware, software, or services -- or actually writing -- on the telephone, interviewing people from companies, fellow authors, folks deploying equipment, and analysts. I write most frequently about Wi-Fi and related wireless networking, and have found a pretty fervent interest in that industry.

I decided that podcasting interviews and audio that helped elucidate about topics that I cover, in the first-person, direct from the source, would help my site better meet its audience's expectations.

Adding a pre-recorded interview component to my currently all-Live radio show would add a whole different to dimension. And would probably broaden the amount of interview content I could have on the show...but it would also mean more interviews to edit for radio broadcast, something I currently have very little time for.
