"I wasn't sure what to expect — I'd never recorded a podcast before. The result sounds completely professional, and the atmosphere during the session was refreshingly relaxed."
The Interview — a format with history
The word interview traces back to the French entrevue — "brief meeting", "encounter in time". In English-language journalism of the 19th century it became established as a distinct conversational format. The first documented newspaper interview is considered to be the conversation James Gordon Bennett conducted in New York in 1836.
What was once a journalistic novelty is now the most common format for passing on knowledge. Podcast, corporate video, oral history, academic conversation — the interview is behind all of them. The core principle hasn't changed. Only the technology around it has.
That's where I come in: the conversation is yours. My job is to make sure the sound holds up and the picture convinces.
