Hey everyone!
Thanks for all your advice!
I do have a second laptop I can use and I was thinking of this scheme:
channel this second laptop into the mixer or, indeed, channel the phone
into the mixer and do it this way. Thanks to the mixer, I will be able to
mute the call if someone says nasty things.
I installed Internet DJ Console, will look into it.
I wonder if streaming it live will work. A complicated setup, but
manageable. I was also thinking of streaming it to YouTube, live.

Given that Skype is available for many mobile

SIP clients as well, there's another possibility that should be
simpler than an extra PC/loopback solution. You could install
Skype/SIP client on your mobile or tablet and connect device's
headphone output to the mixer.
On the other hand, there are programs like Rivendel and distros for
radio stations specific purposes that could be interesting to take
into account.
If I'm doing prerecorded interviews with Skype, I generally use a smart
phone. It's a stop gap solution, especially since the Skype caller
isn't getting audio off the board, just audio from the smartphone. If
your mixer has multiple sends, then you could go that route, but the
mixers that most podcasters are going to have won't.
For live radio, UI concerns are important[1], and having to take calls
on a smartphone *and* manage the rest of the show turns it into a bit of
a mess. It also makes call screening harder to do, which is something I
really have to do. That might be well beyond what the OP was asking
for though.

like the older boards I'm used to, but is all digital underneath.
Right now, I'm using touchscreens, and having to look at what I'm doing
can actually be a problem sometimes. With pots and switches, I can
feel around.
