CW's Interviews

giphy.gif
 
I love Cyclonefanatic.com almost as much as I love the Cyclones ... except when Chris Williams does an interview. Chris, the purpose of an interview is to let us learn about the person you are interviewing and what they think, not to talk about yourself and what you think. Case in point. Just listened to "Meet Dave Moody". Learned way more about you, what you think about pork, what you think about Dave Moody, what you think about pretty much everything, than what Dave Moody (who seems like a pretty interesting guy) thinks about anything. Stick to analysis, which you are really good at, and avoid interviews which ... not so much.

Thank you for your input.
 
I actually really like cw's long lead to a question. Gives better context and color to what he is really getting at and shows the recipient he has put time into a thoughtful question, so produces more thoughtful reaponses and it makes the interviewee at ease and conversational. It is why he gets candid interviews and not the canned coach speak type stuff most interviews net. Don't change a bit CW. It works.

I appreciate this cuz when I'm sitting down with ISU personalities in podcast form for you guys, this is exactly what I am going for. A conversation that serves as an interview. It's part of the reason why Campbell and Prohm love doing them, because they know they can be authentic. I'm just trying to do what others aren't - long form interviews with newsmakers to give you a side of Iowa State that you won't get in a press conference or canned interview straight from the university.

The thing I can’t stand about you on your show is that you talk so ******* slow.
