An intelligent toddler would do better interviewing. How? Promise him a prize if all he says for the next hour is, once, "Samantha Bailey, thank you for being on the podcast. Tell us about yourself and what's on your mind of late."
Then you don't need to explain to the kid that network latency between Canada and New Zealand renders even a conventional conversational interjection a COMPLETE DERAILMENT. Nor must you explain to this exemplary tyke that a thing which to him suddenly seems really pressing is likely to appear to a listener as… a complete derailment and insult to the guest.
Episode 677 is a demonstration of Sam Bailey listening respectfully to someone utterly ignorant of the instant subject, upon which she responds and then WHAM, another interruption. Argh.
Searching earnestly for a host-less interview show, as the "listen to me" disease is rampant — no germs required beyond base human nature. Hosts, please, please stop interrupting guests. Gag yourself. Have signs printed. Figure it out.
