I decided to interview a master barber for my project, and it was very easy to set up the interview. The audio sounds great because I used an external mic, which eliminated some of the white noise/static/fuzz/crapiness I would have gotten from the built-in one on the recorder (which isn't that bad, actually). My mic isn't is as high-quality as the one in the link, but the two are similar and my audio turned out not too shabby.
I find myself torn between doing a Soundslides project and doing an audio profile piece. I guess I question how cohesive my subject's talking will be if smashed together, and whether I'll get much new and useful info from another barber or hair salon. I have all of my audio split up into the cool ambient noise (Aerosmith on the radio and the wonderful clipper noise) and the golden nuggets, so all I need now is a gameplan to lay everything out.
Soundslides or NPR wannabe - that is the question...

Two questions: Where did you get your external mic? And can you get Soundslides or a similar program for free?
