I'm guessing that the IAudio D2 might be nice with an external microphone (it has a built in one, likely just good for memos and such, and a line-n with direct encoding to mp3). I used to listen to a podcast called Bikescape, and he did (maybe still does) all his interviews with an IRiver 799 and external microphone, similar to the D2 in some ways but without the SD cards. But if you want something just for interviews probabaly something like the Microtrak would be superior (although I noticed it doesn't take sd cards).
