In a novel, how would one best represent a recorded conversation between two people played back to a larger audience? The normal rules apply regarding quotation marks and beginning a new paragraph every time someone begins to speak but should the recorded conversation be italicized? Should the narration pertaining to the recorded conversation be within the same paragraph or separate? The answer is probably obvious and I may well be overthinking this but any help would be swell.
