<p>The only issue is plausible deniability, which a phone interview
might have-- if you didn't tell the interviewee you were recording
and have that proof. The others are presumed to have a source
origin. Verbal conversations are subject to your notes, which you
always keep, in case there is litigation. <br>
</p>
<p>From there, you can say "in a phone interview" but that
information is superfluous. <br>

Any why differentiate from a phone versus an in-person
interview? From the reader’s perspective, what difference
does it make?</span></p>
