You are such a skilled interviewer - I love to listen you "manage" the interview to bring out the best in the book and the author.

Thanks for this helpful article. I have enjoyed being interviewed but know that Iwould not feel competent conducting an interview. I do recall listening to Don Harron interviewing Selwyn Dewdney. The man was so humble that as a listener I wasn’t really getting how amazing his achievements had been. But Don Harron would reply to each response in such a way that it alerted the listener to what they might have just missed. That took skill.
