Radio Tips for Jocks and PD’s
There are Three types of interviews; sound bite capsules (60 secs or less), short form (2 to 3 min), 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 most knowledgeable or passionate about. Sometimes interesting things are revealed in these casual conversations that might not have turned up in the bio information. Note this approach applies to live or phone interviews.
