How to record Google Hangouts (audio only)

ThirithThirith Registered User regular
For our podcast (A Damn Fine Cup of Culture), we've been talking via Google Hangouts and recording each person's audio track separately, since we're all recording from different locations. So far this has gone well, but I am aware that we've been working without a safety net: if Audacity crashed on me while we're talking, my audio would be gone.

This is why I'm wondering: what is a good (and ideally free or cheap) way of recording the audio of our Google Hangouts sessions while I'm also recording my own audio on Audacity? Are there any plugins or software that do this? I've had a quick look around on the internet, but most of what I found was basically ads for software disguised as blog posts.

    Audacity can record your computer audio and I believe you can set it up with channels for different sources. It's pretty powerful

    Ooh, that's good to know! Will try it out, as I'm recording on Audacity anyway.
