That was such a fantastic interview. Sam, thank you so much for doing it. Really well done!
Excellent interview, Sam. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
I quite enjoyed talking to Eugenie. There were several instances where I got so interested in what she was saying, I forgot I was supposed to be interviewing her. And then I’d suddenly remember, “Oh, shit. I’m supposed to be progressing the conversation.”
@Sam Ogden: “Oh, shit. I’m supposed to be progressing the conversation.â€
Interviewing is hard, and the fact that people like Terry Gross make it look easy doesn’t help. I thought you did a great job.
@davew:
Thanks!
Hopefully I learned something about it, because you guys just might get more of these soon. . . .
This certainly was a great interview.
In these days where even on the news the interviewer is portrayed as the “star” rather than the interviewee, it was a refreshing change to see an interview where the interviewer shuts the hell up and lets the interviewee speak.
Sam, you’re a natural at this, and I look forward to more of the same in the future!
@Andrew Nixon: I agree wholeheartedly. I’ve seen lots of amateur interviewers and Sam’s a natural. It helps that he’s so familiar with the subject matter, too.
Hopefully any future interviews will go as smoothly.
Just got a chance to listen through all 9 parts. Good stuff, Sam! More please!
I was fortunate to hear Dr. Scott speak at the recent AAI conference in Burbank. She is such a terrific orator and this interview was an excellent reminder of the importance of the work being done by the NCSE.
Great job, Sam!
Sam, U R so HOT!!! I would love to make babies with you!
