Recording Skype Audio for Broadcast?

Jennifer Leonard asks: "I'm in desperate need of securing a way to record my Skype phone calls at broadcast quality. I just purchased a Plantronics Audio.85 headset with noise-reduction mic and 32-bit DSP ('enhances the audio signal for superior stereo sound and speech recognition') and used it for a phone conversation that's intended to be played for a radio show. What I got was totally unacceptable: the audio quality is horrible! There's a constant droney hiss sound over the entire track, which just ruins the interview. Unfortunately, my radio station doesn't have the capacity to do pre-recorded phone interviews. This is why I've had to go about doing it on my own. So far, what I've tried...sucks. Does anyone know how I can get broadcast quality audio by way of recorded Skype conversations?"

If you're running this on a Mac

I know that I am going to get modded down, but I do not care. This has to be said.
I do not use linux, I run windows. I must honestly say that linux users do not piss me off. I think that they are a mostly friendly bunch..

But on the other hand, you fucking Mac users are a bunch of fanboy niggers. I am so sick of your "it doesn't crash, get viruses, blow Steve Jobs," bullshit. Seriously. When I grew up, Macs were for people who could not use computers. Now Mac heads are l33t?? FTW.
