Ask Metafilter Your Interview-Related Questions

Is there a voice recorder for iPod mini?
What are the best tricks, using an audio program like Audacity, for improving a recording of a phone interview where the other guy sounds really quiet, but your voice is loud?
What is the best way to obtain an agent for a non-fiction book (a collection of unorthodox and engrossing interviews with innovators on the political Left, with many a-listers)?
I recently began writing for a local paper, and have my first big interview on the horizon. I have little to none interviewing experience, so I’m wondering if you MeFites could offer up any dos/donts, tips, tricks, etc. My interviewee is a veteran at this sort of thing, so I’m nervous about making a novice blunder. I’ve already done mounds of research, so I’m (hopefully) covered there. Any other tips? (To be specific, the article is about a band and I’m interviewing the frontman.)

How do I interview a novelist?
