High-quality remote audio recording and synchronized editing

“Okay guys, Im in talks with a few friends as we discuss possibly starting a podcast together. Problem is were spread out across the country. My main question, is how practical is that given the tech we have at our disposal? The show will be three of us cohosts (me plus two others). My second question is what method is best for a reasonable level of production quality for a few hobby podcasters. I have a few options as far as Im aware. A) we all hop on a phone call and record our own tracks, then they all send them to me and I splice them together. B) is there a way if we join a videocall for me to record their audio input from their device onto my program? Is there special hardware I need to do that? I know Zoom has a record option on there, but Ive never tried doing that with anything before. Would that support zoom calls? Thanks!!”
