The Interview Blog

Reawakening The Interview Blog

As I am seeing an uptick in interviews of and by friends, I thought I might crank this site back up and widen it for use of said friends. To that end I have sent invitations to some of my favorite peeps who have or would be good subjects or objects of interviews.

I can hardly fathom a more delightful and informative job than that of an interviewer. Charlie Rose pops to mind. A good interviewer can get into the minds of the best minds of our generation.

Have at it!

INTERVIEW: Iddybud of the Blogosphere

New York blogger, Iddybud, has some splainin' to do. She was one of those disinvited bloggers who were to cover the Democratic National Convention, but was yanked, along with a few others, just before the thing was to begin. In my opinion, the coverage suffered for their lackbrained decision of removal.
