Spoken Word Distortion - clipping?

In playback of an interview there are frequent distortions with some words, and it seems to be related to volume. I think I had the microphone too close to the speaker. The distortion is a brief static sound. I have run “Fix Clip” several times with different settings, but it doesn’t seem to make any difference except for decreased volume (if I use that option). What’s happening with the attached recording? Can the annoying “static” sound be removed? Thanks.

I can’t open the Windows Media Audio file. Can you repost in MP3 or WAV. If you use WAV, you can’t go over 10 seconds stereo.
