"The aim of this book is to support anybody trying to develop a skill in the art of radio interviewing. It does not aim to tell you how it must be done, but how it is done and can be done. The content is based on good practice and the experiences of professionals in radio, radio training and education. Listening to a variety of interviews on a range of stations and noting the techniques used by the interviewers will also prove useful. You will discover what works best for you in a variety of situations and you will develop your own instincts about what to ask, apply your own tricks of the trade to elicit reluctant replies and introduce your own style and personality to your interviews."
