5. There's a good point here, though.
Yes, one party's consenting is usually (always?) enough. However, there are often more serious restrictions on the use of such a recording.

The goal, though, would be merely to get anything incriminating on tape (if, of course, one-party consent is legal at all in the state). One might not then be allowed to post the recording as a public podcast, of course, but if the need arose, the fact that the recording exists at all can get it subpoenaed as evidence. Presumably, that would get around any regulation on public use.

If the need arose, though, I assume that the OP might already be consulting a lawyer, who could advise on how (or whether) to use the recording.
