Hello my survivor friends. 

What follows is an interview I did for a podcast called “Living the Dream with Curveball”. It’s shortish, 17 minutes.

I’ll include it here in its entirety. 

Again, this is one of a series of interviews and other content that I’m producing during our break between seasons two and three. If you have no interest in this type of content, feel free to skip forward to the next season. 

I will clearly identify these types of shows in the title so you can sort them out quickly. 

Let me give you a little inside baseball on interviewing and this interview. 

The interviewer is a guy named Curtis and his DJ sobriquet is “Curveball”. He does a lot of these types of interviews on his podcast. It was good practice for me. 

I have been interviewing people for my other podcast for over a decade. At this point I’ve done more than 475 interviews. I’m used to the interview format, although I’m not as often on the other side of the mic .

The challenge is to make the interview interesting and entertaining for the audience. To do this you either need a great topic, or an entertaining dynamic between the interviewee and the guest. 

I’m used to more of a back and forth than Curtis’ style. More of a conversation. His style is to ask the question and sit back for the interviewee to expound on the answer. 

You can hear me trying to engage him in conversation by asking questions. Which he gives me one- or two-word answers to. 

The other thing you can hear is me, in the beginning trying to set an energetic tone, but by the end I’m adjusting to match his lower energy level. I honestly think this topic might have been outside his zone of interest. 

But, I’m grateful for the opportunity to wax poetically about the apocalypse and hopefully we’ll find a few more survivors to join our little enclave as a result. 

Anyhow, hope you pick up a few tidbits from the interview. I’ll post the link up on the Facebook Group and you can comment there.
