If you're nervous about renaming clips, The other option is to make stringouts.
You can stringout each interview in a sequence. Makes it easier anyway. Radio cuts are faster, scenes make more sense, finding timecode easier.
Same thing with Broll footage.
I rarely look at the clips anyway, i just go straight to the strings.
The only time I go to the footage bin is if I need to look at the metadata for some reason or troubleshoot something.
