I hate being unkind, but this interview was painful to listen to. Joy, I don’t know how often you interview for podcasts, but I was very frustrated as I listened to your interview with Mr. Milikh. I didn’t think I was supposed to be listening to a conversation; I thought you were going to interview Mr. Milikh for his ideas. You are a terrific writer, but I prefer that an interviewee be in the spotlight. You interjected, at length, your own opinion. You interrupted him, disrupting his train of thought, to express your own ideas. You punctuated his ideas with your exclamatory comments and nervous laughter. Perhaps I don’t know how these things work, but again, the focus should be on his sharing and clarifying his ideas. I believe the only places you should jump in, and briefly, is to ask him to elaborate on his ideas or ask for clarification.
Too harsh. It’s only in the beginning that Joy Pullman talks a little bit too much, perhaps!
It was, in fact, a conversation, and she had valuable observations to add.
She interrupted all the way through. She’s very invested in the topic, which I appreciate in her writing. But not in the podcast. But we can disagree.
