PodCampSL - How to get interviewees to open up

Setting here at Podcast Island, I listen to a presentation on how to get your interviewees to open up. This helps your listeners get stories that they want to hear. Do something (walk around outside for the interview) Pause after the question and don't overstep the answer Ask the question everyone wants to ask Ask the question no one would think to ask Get past the professional interviewee Ask the interviewee to introduce themselves Ask how the interviewee explains what they do to family Talk about food - apply analogies with what they do Find a mystery (suspense) and try to solve it let others tell a story recording the ambient sounds defines the location get out there ...
