Karson and Kennedy, MIX 104.1, Boston Andy Grammer Talks Therapy
Interviews suck! When they’re bad they do. But when you get the person you’re interviewing off their talking points or what they’re selling (tickets, web hits, books, product) and move them to reveal who they really are through a story, you add to the authenticity of both them and your show. That requires prep on your part. Karson and Kennedy, MIX 104.1, Boston has been open with the audience for years about the mental health challenges of cast members. That vulnerability draws the audience closer to you. So it’s appropriate, when they found out in prepping for an interview with artist Andy Grammer that Covid put him in therapy, to go there. Listen to how intimate and real the first part of this conversation is. How open and honest they are so that Andy is open and honest, too. Knowing who you are, preparing, and having the confidence to go there makes for a conversation you can’t get anywhere else.
