Default how do you interleave two columns

In your selected column (say C), assuming data starts in row 1

in C1: =INDIRECT("A"&INT(ROW()/2)+1)
in C2: =INDIRECT("B"&ROW()/2)

Higlight both and copy down

Copy & Paste Special==Values if required

If you have two columns of data, what's the easiest way to automatically
(programatically?) interleave them. The resulting column should consist of:

1st cell of 1st column
1st cell of 2nd column
2nd cell of 1st column
2nd cell of 2nd column
etc.

For example,
1 a
2 b
3 c

would become:

1
a
2
b
3
c
