INTERVIEWS

Welcome to the
Music Is Life Podcast Interviews

The page for interviews conducted in the past and present

Here we will post interviews with many names in mainstream and cult. As long as I find these entertaining and/or informative, they will always have a place here on the page. For some, I can only conduct them via email, and they will be posted here.

I started doing interviews with people since my days in school. First as a writer for my school newspapers and working my way up to co-editor of my high school newspaper in my junior and senior years, I conducted interviews with faculty, students, and public figures. When I made my way to college radio, many radio promoters were able to schedule me with artists from bands I’ve always respected. These artists include Dave Brockie (Oderus Urungus of GWAR; RIP), Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden), Bruce Kulick (KISS), Joey Vera (Armored Saint), and Adam D. (Killswitch Engage).

My attitude with the Music Is Life Podcast is the same as it was back then – don’t give people a reason to be bored with the same questions over and over again. Do your research, and give them a reason to want to give you their time. People’s time is precious to them, and respect for your guests goes a long way. Of course – have fun with them. However, don’t pander, don’t patronize, and don’t insult their intelligence
