The setup he's suggesting is cool, but it costs a lot of money is isn't easy to set up.

If you want a less expensive & simple alternative, try this:

MAC - Connect: Skype - Record: Ecamm Call Recorder - Mic: rode Podcaster or Blue Yeti - Edit: ScreenFlow (or iMovie) - MP3: use the converter that comes with Ecamm Call Recorder

PC Use the same thing, but try VodBurner for recording and editing.

What I love about Dan's programs is that he can get the people he has on to care about their sound because he has them on consistently. At Mixergy, the entrepreneurs I interview don't seem to have the same appreciation.

My expectation when I was doing some of this stuff was to expect to have flight kits for folks with a usb soundcard + mic + IFB with in-plastic tips. Theoretically it'd be "plug in the USB soundcard" and go.

Points of failure and all of that... but it was a fun thought.

Why not buy a few high quality microphones and have kits and instructions that you send out to interviewees with return shipping (or direct shipping to the next interviewee)?
