I think we are all guilty at times of even slightly interrupting someone. Not always because of self-obsession to hear your own voice or not waiting for the other person to finish, but because if we’re having a really good conversation, and points keep getting made that spark more ideas and mutual agreeing, we want to share that enthusiasm in the moment. Essentially, these kinds of interruptions are 'Yes, 100%! And…'.
When you listen to a conversation on the radio, with
multiple co-hosts and guests all expressing enthusiasm for something, you hear everyone
talking over each other! Some personalities may like to talk more or be louder than
others, but the best radio shows get along like a boisterous family dinner
party! There is no such greater example of this than the 25-year running long 4-hour
daily program, Elvis Duran and the Morning Show on Z100!
So far in this series of celebrity interviewing posts, I’ve
examined some entertainment journalists from various publications, channels,
and media formats. The inspiration to now include radio host interviewing only
came to me last week. And I am so thankful that former Morning Show DJ
Bethany Watson replied to my email with some of her tips for a successful and
meaningful radio interview!
