I do a couple of podcasts, and one of them (Systematic) regularly interviews people who aren't terribly technical. I use Ecamm Call Recorder with Skype, and even when the remote interviewee is not prepared to record, I can get both sides of the conversation on separate tracks for EQ and mixing. I do request they have a small, quiet room, and a ban on any headphones with inline mics (like iPhone earbuds). I can usually make a headset work if they don't have a decent mic, though it takes a lot of EQ work and sometimes sucks even after editing.
