Episode 64 | How To Frame Your Interview
Like a photograph, the quality of the frame will make an interview better or worse. In this week's episode, I talk about the many ways I frame interviews before, during, and after the interview is complete, and how that makes for a better interview.
I break down my tried methods for creating a safe, comfortable environment for your interviewees while also maximizing the technical quality of your recordings.
From the emails you send before the interview to the final follow-up afterward, every step is crucial to ensuring a smooth and successful conversation.
Here are my framing emails, outlines, and bullets so you can use them for your own interviews.

The Art Of The Interview
Interviewing people is an art. The ability to sit across from someone and create a safe, intimate space for them to share with you their feelings, thoughts, and ideas is a powerful skill.
What questions do I ask? How do I make my guest feel comfortable?
In The Art of the Interview, we explore these questions and more, diving deep into the subtle and intricate skill of interviewing through the lens of psychology, science, religion, and other disciplines. Our goal is to become better interviewers, whether we're interviewing the President of the United States or getting coffee with a friend.
