There are Three types of interviews; sound bite capsules (60 sec or less), short form (2 to 3 mins), and long form (Talk show). Capsules do not require advance prep work, however, in short or long form, it is always smart to hold a conversation with the interviewee for a few minutes a day prior or just before the actual interview. It puts the interviewee at ease and helps identify what they might be the most knowledgeable or passionate about. Sometimes interesting things are revealed in these casual conversations that might have not turned up in the bio information. This approach applies to live or phone interviews.
