Josh McAdams interviewed me for Perlcast. Josh does a really nice job with these interviews, I've enjoyed listening to them all. We did it using Skype, which I'd never used before. Not sure exactly how he recorded it, I forgot to ask (if it were me, I'd probably have used Soundflower). I supplied the bumper music with one of my amazing smash hits, You're Clueless.
I'd be very interested to know how he did that. I asked the Skype support how to record conversations, and they told me you couldn't.
I've done a few face-to-face interviews of Perl people for a French print magazine, but being able to use Skype for them would make it possible to interview people anytime, and not just during conferences!

I'm currently using Skype on a Windows machine, but I have a Linux machine at hand (if it's easier with it).

Josh replied to my other journal on Slashdot about doing it from Windows: he uses hardware. On a Mac, as I mentioned, I could use Soundflower: I'd set Soundflower as the output channel for Skype, then set the Soundflower channels as inputs to my audio application. If latency is an issue I can use a little app called Soundflowerbed to monitor the audio as I am sending it to the application. Dunno if there is such a thing for Windows, but there should be.:-)
