This is a question a lot of people ask when they get an interview request. However, these interviews don’t follow a script so I can’t tell you exact questions ahead of time. The purpose of the interview is to explore the topic or news story and learn a bit on the way. The purpose is never to be confrontational and your interview will flow from question to question based on how the conversation is going and how the audience is responding. Unlike scripted, stiff interviews, these interviews are fun and easy to listen to and people generally like to share them with others so they can talk about the topic.
Most interviews are conducted over Zoom so we can have video and audio. We can connect with you just about any way you want, though, with options like Skype, Discord, CleanFeed, etc.
Of course, we can get you an MP3 of your appearance or you can edit the YouTube stream to use the video on your website or social media platforms. We usually send these links the same day.
