My Interview With Linkara

[DramaGuyCJM]

It's included in this latest episode of my podcast, Thoughts Out of Context.

NOTE: Just to let you know ahead of time, the audio for the interview is a little on the quiet side so you may need to turn your speakers up. I apologize for that.

Share and enjoy!

Mst3k discussion = ;D

And everyone knows the best shorts are "Is This Love?", "Cheating", "What About Juvenile Delinquincy", "Last Clear Chance" and "The Days of Our Years", not in that order.

I hope I don't make you mad or hurt your feelings, but I do have some criticism:

Overall, very good interview! I think you nailed a lot of questions that fans would probably be curious about to know of Mr. Luvhaug. The only real thing I think you should work on for future interviews is to watch the stammering you kind of do between questions.

A good number of times, Lewis would answer a question, and you would do sort of a nervious stammer before moving on: "Eh...yeah...heh...uh...um....'kay..." It sort of felt like maybe you had something you wanted to add...or maybe even wanted him to talk more about a particular question or answer, but just kind of got too nervious and moved on. Maybe not, but that's the impression I was getting. My advice is to just calm down a bit, and make conversation with an interviewee as if you were just having a conversation and not being official. Maybe it will help, but do whatever makes you feel comfortable.

As far as the sound goes...yeah, it was a little low at times, and I had to turn all my volumes way up on my CPU to hear it at points, but that stuff happens. You warned everyone way ahead of time and technical issues are just one of those things we all have to deal with. Though it was a bit soft, at least everything was crystal clear sounding and one could understand everything being said.

Anyway, I really enjoyed the interview and liked hearing what Linkara had to say, you asked several questions that I have wanted to ask him myself. I kinda wish he'd talked a bit more about some things (like over rated characters) but I get the impression that he likes to try to stay positive as far as that kind of stuff goes, so maybe he skimped out on answering that question on purprose.

Well done, Hooch and thank you for the link! I'm definately going to listen to future shows!

No love for "Once upon a Honeymoon" Kel?

Thanks for the feedback thus far everyone.

Kelly: Those are all quality ones. In retrospect I can't believe I forgot to mention "Catching Trouble" during our MST3K discussion. I love that one, especially the horrified reactions of Joel and the Bots while watching it.

Goldenbane: Glad you enjoyed the interview and have decided to continue listening. Gracias, good sir. I will readily admit I'm still very new at this whole interview thing, but I'm sure my candor and such will improve as time goes on. One day at a time, one show at a time, one interview at a time... and I've run out of things to say here, hehe. Thanks again.

Ani: You'll be glad to know that Linkara said "Once Upon A Honemoon" is one of his favorites, mostly because of the music.

EDIT: Whoa, my podcast's ranking position on PodOmatic jumped up 7997 places since yesterday! This is amazing! Thank you, everyone for downloading, subscribing and listening! Feel free to talk it up and spread the word about it.

Hooch, I likes ya. You're my kind of guy. Which makes it really hard to say this. I didn't get to the interview.

It's already been said that there's a lot of stammering but there's one thing that bugged me more than that. Get. To. The. Point. I might be overly critical but if I'm listening to a podcast or watching a vlog or something, if it's not going anywhere, I turn it off. I'm a jerk like that, I admit it. But I don't have the patience to sit through something to get to another part I'm more interested in.

To be fair, may I suggest streamlining your content, possibly scripting it out a little, so there's less yammering or silence. Or maybe just sitting in your room by yourself and reading it out loud so you can get a cadence going. The more you do it the more natural it will feel and your podcast will run way smoother.

Prove me wrong!
