Remote call recording options

Remote call recording software means location is no barrier to who you can interview. The choice comes down to how much polish and convenience you want.

SquadCast and Riverside are the two best-known purpose-built tools. They're "double enders" — each participant is recorded locally on their own machine, then the files sync up. That sidesteps wonky wifi and gives you cleaner audio. Both record video too.

Alitu has a call recorder that handles syncing, processing, cleanup, and volume levelling automatically, and pipes straight into its editor.

And of course you can use Zoom — most people already have it. The catch: you'll need to know how to edit and mix the result into a decent-sounding episode afterwards.
