Are you seriously using a phone line to do this interview? It sounds like complete trash. It’s a podcast… Use technology… Do the interview over Skype, but have him record the audio on his phone and email you the file. Then edit it in. Or record the Skype call… Or another way like that…
Do the interview over the phone, but have Tony record his audio on a separate recorder. I’m sure he has one… Then send it to you. I’m sure he would. It’s in everyone’s best interest.
You get the point. When the whole premise of your show is that people must LISTEN, then take steps so it doesn’t sound like trash. It’s 2016. Don’t fall back on a phoner.
10 months and I finally get my first hate mail. I’ve finally made it! On a serious note, with the sound card that I have available in our antiquated studio, Skype is not an option.
