But that doesn't mean you can't acknowledge that you're the one telling it. And doing so can be a key to more memorable moments (aka "The 3 Ms") and a more propulsive narrative. So include yourself asking questions on tape! Interview friends and SAY they're your friends! And above all, be you! All in favor: say "I."
