Better Interviews - SMC San Francisco
February 22, 2007 by Chris Heuer
On 20FEB2007, we gathered at CNet headquarters in San Francisco to talk with Tom Abate of the San Francisco Chronicle (and ) about interview techniques. It was certainly the right group of people for this topic, with some people just getting started like Lorna Li of and her friend/new editor Marianne Betterly, a veteran from radio Stacy Bond of and Peter Shaplen, a veteran television producer. Listen in to this 87min podcast for some really valuable insights. We had a great, diverse group of people sharing their experience and helping each other with this important topic. The group included about 20 people, from our new advisor Tom Buckholtz to good friend Andy Kaufman to Jordan Gray & Jonathan Grindstaff.
This was a useful meeting for many of the attendees. For example, I gained new perspective for co-hosting the interview-format television program Issues Today. Gaining varied - even seemingly contradictory - advice was helpful.
