Lots of times on podcasts, participants will make random distracting noises like moving their chair, throwing something down onto their desk, smacking the spacebar on their keyboard, clicking a pen, moving their microphone, and about a zillion other things.
If they make these noises WHILE they are speaking, there’s not much you can do, although with iZotope RX7 you can sometimes do a bit of magic (but that takes a lot of time!).
If they make these noises when they are NOT speaking, then it’s possible to edit out them out, and removing those noises really does make a big difference in terms of listening experience for the listeners.

When it comes to distracting noises, the first rule is don’t put them in.
If in, try to stop and retry asking the question. Only if it is impossible or ‘artistically unrealistic’, leave it in.
If you are a one man band, recording & interviewing, it can be difficult to monitor what’s being recorded. Ideally, you have a sound recorder as well as a presenter so you can concentrate on each area.
RX7 or Audition is pretty good at being able to minimise it through erasing frequencies, but it’s a pain. Sometimes you can replace a word with another recorded cleanly.
