I'm doing a few talks this week about the art of interviewing, and I dug up this piece about what I think is most fundamental: treat an interview like a relationship--before, during, and after a conversation. It's ethical *and* leads to more nuanced tape.

NYC based podcast companies: I beg of you, if you're going to descend on a small town in search of your next hit podcast, please don't spend the first several minutes explaining the place to us (ie trashing it) in a way that presumes none of us have a sense of it or care about it

you don't have to only say nice things to describe a place! but it's much more interesting to hear tape from someone who lives there about a place's cruelties and the tradeoffs of living there than from someone who just got off a plane.

Hey everybody. I have some big personal news. I am stepping aside as host of Radiolab. This show that I started in 2002 - in my basement - is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary, and this feels like the right time.
