Edit on Descript's free plan or Audacity, clean every recording with Adobe Podcast, and record guests in other cities on Riverside.

Descript lets you edit a recording by editing its transcript; the free plan gives 1 media hour a month and Hobbyist is $16 a month billed yearly. Audacity and GarageBand are free but edit a waveform, so they take longer to learn. Riverside records each remote guest on their own track, and REAPER is a $60 licence for a business earning under $20,000 a year; pay only once you publish every week.
