Another new episode of Voices in Your Head is up. This one is on the “Future of Music” with Gerd Leonhard and Dave Kusek. As always, check it out and let me know what you think.
This one kind of bookends with the interview with John Buckman. I’m sure the folks who had problems with that one will have the same problems with this but hope springs eternal.
Oh dear..
It seems my comments wern’t well received last time round.. Will it help to know I thought this interview was actually really good? 🙂
I liked this one the best of all of them thus far. Very interesting and Herr Leonhard and Mr. Kuseck seem quite passionate about their work. Very engaging and thought-provoking, I give it two of what-thumbs-I-have-left up.
Brendan- I think that what you took for Dave’s disinterest in the last interview was actually his distraction. He was going through the many machinations it takes to do a computer/phone interview plus also trying to think deeply about the subject matter at hand (which fascinates him), which is going to bog down even the fastest of processors.
That being said, don’t worry too much about Dave’s response to your critique, he’s really sensitive sometimes.
Dave, this was compelling stuff. Hadn’t listened to any of the previous interviews in the series, but now I’m going to.
Keep it up!
Georgia, thanks for the kind words. I LOVED your Good Friday show!
James and Brendan, my whole thing on the Buckman wasn’t sensitivity or pushback, it was just befuddlement. Hearing that I sounded uninterested on an interview that I was highly into confused me, and that’s what I was saying. Your input and feedback is welcome, even if it confuses me.
I’m pretty sure I worded my initial thoughts on the “Buckman interview badly.. I’ve listened to it a couple more times now just to satisfy myself, and on close inspection, it sounds like you simply were doing a great deal at once, which is of course going to divert focus away from the interview. I’m not 100% certain, but I think John steered the conversation away from your initial points made as well, which probably didn’t help. The latest interview IMHO rocks. Very well done, professional etc..
