Fellow capsulers I have just be offered a job doing free lance audio interviews. With some audio transmitting celebrities.

My first interview was with Arydanika, from Voices From The Void Audio cast, went some what smoothly, but I realized I ran out of questions quickly.

Out side of her interaction with her crew, and what were her last exploits over the last months, My mind went blank.

Please help! What questions Should I ask!?!?
If I don't ask juicy questions I won't be able to afford the wages I pay my crew!

I hope to have the personal interview posted soon. Just finding the time to complete the editing is hard as These genetically modified monkeys keep escaping their cages and $%^&ing my couches. My crew is insisting on all new furniture for the ship.

The questions that you ask should depend upon the person you're interviewing.

I will echo the advice of Admiral Blake, perhaps you should spend some time preparing questions related to the individual you're interviewing before doing the interview.

Compose a list of general questions that would relate to any person, then when you discover whom you're going to interview, compile a list personal to that individual and combine the two. Allow the conversation to present other questions as well.

Sure that is the easy way of doing something, but really contraversial questions like

Rumor has it that your Mother was are 1/4 Minmitar, yet you claim to be a Pure Amarrian.

Adding flair to the normal interview. My Clone is paid up. And more often than not, for some reason, the ship that brought me to the interview spot is 10 jumps out before I begin the interview.!

Controversial questions will need to be specific to the individual, as has been suggested already.

Since you mention you have an up-to-date backup... There's of course the old favorite of I am sure every capsuleer in the universe: "Have you died? How many times? How was it for you?"

In all seriousness, what the above posters said. You need to do your homework before interviewing someone.

but that is so hard......

Though for my 2nd and 3rd interview I am trying to do some research.

The next interview will be of a Pod Pilots that not only deals with slave trading but things slaves are worth less than property.
he took 7,500 Slaves and after they built his station he then biomassed them and has litterally mad them apart of the station... Ie those 2 statues you often see before you enter the Captain quarters contain real Minmitar bodies.

Some times i wonder if being so far in the negative security Status outer reaches men begin to loose it!
I will post the first interview once it gets past the conferrmation of integrity stage.

I have to echo the statements of some of my fellow pilots here. A good interview is structured to the person, not to the great mass to which we all belong. Surely if the person is worthy of being interviewed there is already something there to ask them about, or else you have to ask 'Why do my listeners care'.

In the case of Aridanika, whom I have had the great pleasure of getting to know while she and her crew were convalesing in our Shabayev after the True Slave Foundations rescued her, you could ask her about the experience. She was in the wreck of the ship for a very long time. That's your angle right there, as she fought for survival against the cold and unyielding mercilessness of the void. You could ask her what she was doing out there in the first place, what was the intended mission?

And as my last piece of advice, you should always have only a few 'set' questions to ask. A good interview is made up of an interaction between the interviewer and the interviewee. Have a general subject, listen to the answers, and then formulate new questions in response to those answers.
