Instead of relying ONLY on web-based audio recording services like Squadcast, etc., each and every podcast hosts and cohosts should record their own raw audio locally.
It’s not difficult to do, and those local recordings will be better audio quality than any web-based recordings.
Note: It’s not an either/or decision — hosts and cohosts can easily record their own mic locally AS WELL AS record their mic using services like Squadcast, etc. Plus, it’s always great to have a backup recording 😉

This is where an ATR2100/Q2U comes in, with the USB connection feeding Squadcast and the XLR feeding into an external recorder.
If you have an audio interface, like a Focusrite, usually you can take a feed out using the monitor out into a recorder.
Alternatively, if you have a Mac, use Audio Hijack to grab the audio from the mic within the PC.
