Thanks to Jason Van Orden for posting this article about how to get a great interview audio by using Skype, Pamela, and Audacity. It’s a super, cost-effective solution for any podcaster.

- Skype: free
- Pamela: the paid version (I have the Pro version – $30, has the feature mentioned to record in split tracks)
- Audacity: free
I actually did this for the first time recently with my interview with Mari Smith
Then I brought it into Audacity to clean up each of the tracks, changed them to mono, and created a single mp3 file. Worked like a charm.
Honestly, I was SUPER impressed with the quality. Doing it via skype had me a bit worried, but I made sure and closed any other applications running on my pc, same with the person I was interviewing. Don’t know if that made a difference but the result was really good. I was happy!
