Moose and Breezy, 98PXY, Rochester, NY with Letting Interviews Breathe

When conducting any interview, my radar is up for who talks more, you or the person you’re interviewing.  It should be the latter, as they are the focus of the story telling.  Terrific interviews are done when you have a deep interest in the story about to be told.  Your inquisitiveness to draw out the subject and get them to dig deeper in their story and its emotions determines how impactful the interview is for listeners.  That requires great prep, an ability to listen instead of focusing on your next question, and allowing the interview to breath (silence is a very powerful tool, especially in a serious interview, to give listeners the space to absorb what’s been said).  Moose and Breezy, 98PXY, Rochester, NY show a picture-perfect example of this in a conversation they had with a listener about suicide prevention.
