Captioning interviews-how to

Hi All,

I didn't see this one on the list, so I thought I would ask.

I need to caption an interview between two people, one is John the
interviewer and the other is Jane the interviewee. There are just questions
and answers. In the captions, what is the best way to show who is talking?
For example, I could do names or just Q/A, examples:

John: Did you go to this place?
Jane: Yes I did.....

Q; Did you go to this place?
A: Yes I did.....

I have looked and looked and haven't found any 'best practices'. Did I miss
something? Advice?

Thanks so much!
