Roger’s Comic Ramblings: Who Does This Roger Guy Think He Is?
by Roger Ash
You’ve been reading my posts on the Westfield blog since it started up (at least I hope you have). You’ve seen the numerous interviews I’ve done for Westfield over the years. You’ve seen videos I’ve recorded for the Westfield YouTube channel. You may have even noticed my name in the indicia of the Westfield catalog. After all this time, you might be wondering, “OK, who is this Roger guy?” (Or is that being too narcissistic on my part?) Well, this time out I thought I’d tell you a bit more about myself and my obsessions including, of course, comics.
Roger’s Comics Ramblings: A thought on interviews
by Roger Ash
In a previous column, I stated that one of the most important things an interviewer needed to do was their research prior to conducting an interview. I also mentioned that I’d talk more about conducting interviews in an upcoming column. This is one of those columns. There are many nuts and bolts kind of things to consider, such as word count and staying on topic, but right now I want to take a look at creating a rapport with the person you’re interviewing.
