Well, you probably need to do what everyone else does – storyboard, do multiple takes, edit. Some stuff you probably want to do together (the talking head type stuff) but you could do individual segments separately as well which would be easy to splice together.
Doing it in one take which sounds like what you’re talking about (people walking into the room/biff going off/picking your nose/scratching your nuts) doesn’t sound practical.

The issue is, it would take too much time to do that. When Tim and I started TechBytes (audio) we agreed that we would do everything in one take and not edit anything out. We have stuck to these principles.
To arrange this whole thing (sometimes with SIP) is hard because of Tim’s rota. The walking in is not an issue for me (I have my own place), but Tim’s wife might sometimes walk in by accident and sometimes we have something showing up on the screen/desktop that shouldn’t. Even though we do it in one take without editing, this can still be very time consuming. In November we did 15 shows (1 every 2 days) and maybe we can find a way to pick up the pace again. Adding things like tunes and more guests always complicates matters and slows down the process, even if it makes the show richer.
