The Art Of The Interview

Episode 56 | From The Library | How To Be A Better Sports Interviewer


Listen Later

In this episode, I talk about how to be a better sports interviewer. I base my tips off of an anecdote in The Art of the Interview by Lawrence Grobel about ESPN interviewer Roy Firestone. The book makes two important points about Firestone's style:

  1. He is curious about the entire human, not just their sports ability
  2. He is positive in his approach to interviewing them
  3. By listening to this episode, you'll be able to be a more holistic and person-centered sports interviewer. You'll get better sound bytes from the athletes that you interview, plus you'll be able to expand these techniques into other types of interviewing that tend to be less emotion-centered such as business, technology, and news.
