I've done hundreds of interviews over the course of my career for video production projects, documentary films, news stories, live on-air talk shows, and non-recorded pre-interviews.

But what's more important to me is the response that I get from the people that I interview. They describe interviewing with me as "fun" and "relaxing" and "way less stressful than they thought that it was going to be!" Oftentimes interviewing is not an experience that look forward to or look back on fondly! But somehow I've figured out tips and tricks to make it enjoyable and productive too!
