If that's the case, you might want to use a more sophisticated tool than Audacity. Or maybe you want to remove the "umms" and "uhhhs".

For example, maybe you're interviewing someone and you want to edit it down to only include the good parts. Just push this button in Zencastr and your audio will sound good Step 3: Edit the podcast In my experience, you don't need to do anything extra to make the audio sound good. It will combine the tracks together, get the levels right, and automatically sync the file to Dropbox so you have a backup copy. After you're done recording, you can just press the "produce your podcast" button. Thankfully, Zencastr does this automatically. If you want to do this manually using a sound editing tool, it can be a bit tedious getting everything right. For example, maybe one person's mic is louder than the other person's. When you're recording audio from multiple sources, you normally need to mix it a bit to make sure the levels are good. I personally like Zencastr the best, but they honestly all do the same thing. Note: There are other similar tools like Squadcast and Riverside. This way you get the quality of local recording, and the convenience of a Zoom call. Zencastr records audio for each person locally, and then after the recording is done, it uploads everything and combines it together in a single track. Or you could have everyone record a file locally on their computer and stitch it together later, but that takes a lot of time, and you run the risk that one of the files might not record correctly. Sure, you could just record a Zoom call, but the audio quality for everyone except the host will be pretty bad because it's recording at the quality that can stream over the internet. Recording audio isn't as simple as it seems, especially when everyone isn't in the same room.

If you'd rather watch than read, here's a video of me producing a real podcast episode: If you want your podcast to sound professional, you should definitely avoid using webcam mics, airpods, etc. The "good enough" mics start around $60, but you can spend a lot more than that if you're an audio nerd.
