Zoom is the most versatile free tool to record multi-track interviews. Listen to find out why and how to get the most out of it. 
I mentioned that Audacity may need you to install the FFmpeg plugin before it can open Zoom's .m4a audio files. Here's the entry from the manual: FAQ:Installing the FFmpeg Import/Export Library (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/faq_installing_the_ffmpeg_import_export_library.html). But it's probably easier to find a tutorial from Youtube. 
PRODUCTION NOTES
Mic: Samson Q2U with USB connection
Recording Device: Dell G7 Laptop
Recording Software: Audacity
Recording location: Dining room at my dining table. With my laptop behind my mic to minimize the noise from my hard-drive and laptop fan.
Recording format: 16 bit WAV file
Sample rate: 44100Hz
Editing app: Audacity
Sound Treatment: Auphonic Productions at Auphonic.com
Auphonic.com settings [to output as a 16bit mono WAV file]: Adaptive Leveler (on), Loudness Normalization (Loudness Target -19 LUFS ), Filtering (on), Noise and Hum Reduction (Reduction Amount: Auto), Sample rate: 44.1kHz
I uploaded the resulting WAV file to Anchor.fm to host the file and added the music from their free music stock.
Anchor automatically converts the WAV file into a 128kbps .m4a file
