[Hidden-tech] recording audio over telephone

[Chris Hoogendyk]

Of course, if the person on the other end is on a cell phone, you may 
just be out of luck as far as quality is concerned. I was recently 
listening to WAMC, and they cut short an interview they were trying to 
do with an author, because he had called in on a cell phone and the 
sound quality was very tinny, like a robot voice. You could hardly 
understand him over the radio. They told him they would try to 
reschedule it when he could get to a land line. Then they filled with 
other programming.
