Podcast/Interview

Dylan Gadino interviews Amy Schumer on Laughspin.

He knew about her new apartment being the nicest place she had ever had as well as her show debut that was coming up on April 30, 2014, "Inside Amy Schumer."

The questions were very light and funny. I got the impression that they knew each other or were friends. It sounded much more conversational than it sounded like a typical interview. In many places, it felt more like Schumer lead the conversation as opposed to Gadino.

Follow up questions were like, "why's that?" As in, elaborate please. I did not detect any particular strategy.

There were no inadequate or evasive answers. Amy Schumer is like an open book. The only time she stumbled was when discussing the view where the were at and she maybe revealed a little too much info about where her place was located and she then just said they were looking east.

I learned that an interview will go a little smoother if the person you are interviewing feels comfortable. Amy Schumer is very forthcoming and does 85% of the talking.

Podcast

Who runs this podcast? Is it affiliated with any legacy media or sponsor?

I am unsure who runs the podcast, but I found it on Youtube. It was the Rachel Maddow Show November 5, 2015 full show.  The Rachel Maddow Podcast seems to just be a repeat of the show on television. At the beginning of the podcast, Maddow made a comment about how the set looked different, which we cannot see. Maddow is the host of her own show on MSNBC. 

 What is the scope of the coverage on the story they are reporting? How in-depth do they go?

This show was recorded the day before Maddow was to moderate the democratic debate. Her podcast/show was really a dissection of not only the democratic candidates, but also the Republican ones.Rachel Maddow always goes in-depth.

 Any audio quality issues?

It sounded a little weird. It sounded as though there were conversations going on in the background. 

 If given the choice, would you rather read this story in print, or listen to this podcast?

Print. I am old-school. I like news stories in print. I do appreciate a good news video, but a podcast would never be my choice.
