Double-ender is a term describing the situation when both the host and remote guest record their own microphone audio locally. Afterwards the guest sends their local recording to the host who uses that track in the episode production.
To converse online for the interview they may connect using Skype, etc., but instead of using the Skype audio in the final episode, each participants local recording is used instead.
In my experience it’s relatively rare to have a guest who knows how to record themselves locally, which is why many people use services like Zencastr and Squadcast because they basically record a double-ender without the guest ever knowing it.

There are some other reasons to use an automated double ender like Squadcast.
The prime reason is when someone forgets to press record.
What Squadcast is doing is a ‘double ender,’ recording both ends of the conversation. If you have a regular co-host, or you’re interviewing a fellow podcaster who knows how to record, you can do a double ender by each recording your audio on your own side and then matching it up later. Co-hosts often clap at the beginning of the recording so the person syncing up the audio later knows where the two tracks match up. This is because people don’t always hit record at the exact same time on their end.
