If you could interview anyone in any area of life,
who would it be and what would the central theme of the interview be?

Alex Tear, SiruisXM / Pandora: The Duffer Brothers and let’s count that as one person! Matt and Ross, the creators of Stranger Things. Totally addicted and was late to the game. Love the writing depth, creativity, and subliminal nostalgia from my childhood, so entertaining!

Jonathan Shuford, WRVW: Jon Stewart and I’d asked him how to fix how f-ed up our country is.

Jeff Hurley, iHeartMedia: Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. Professional sports coaches have one of the most difficult jobs in the world, and he has succeeded at a high level for years due to his unwavering commitment and personal relationships. He seems to connect with his players on a level that many other coaches struggle with. Would love to understand how he balances those personal feelings with the difficult decisions that a leader makes when building a winning team.

Bartel. WKTU: Michael Jackson. Just about growing up a young star and his life in music.

 

Elise, WPLW: Neil DeGrasse Tyson, he’s a brilliant astrophysicist and I have an enormous fascination with outer space.

Matt Johnson, WPLW: The Dalai Lama on how to foster more compassion for the idiots that surround me.

Rick Vaughn, KENZ: Buzz Aldrin, space travel and physics. He has a doctorate degree in science from MIT, super smart guy, plus he’s very candid so I think he’d be interesting to talk to.

Brian Mack, iHeartMedia: John Lennon: Would the Beatles have come back together?

Jon Zellner, iHeartMedia: I’d sit down with as many centenarians as possible and ask each of them about their secret to longevity and their most vivid memories.

Chris Michaels, FM100: Johnny Depp! Let’s talk about this whole mess while enjoying a Mega Pint.

Adam Rivers, WKCI: Bill Belichick. Talk about everything and anything!

Buster Satterfield, WIOQ: Elvis Presley. What was it like to be a rock star before social media?

R Dub, Z90/Magic 92.5: Louis Armstrong. I’d just ask him about his life. Love him so!

Dom Theodore, Radio Animal Media Strategies: I would have loved to pick Steve Jobs’ brain on innovation and design.

Joey Brooks, WKSS: Kurt Cobain, and I want to know his views on the impact he had on pop and social culture in general. He started an entire music movement, and that impact still has endured. My daughter is wearing a Nirvana t-shirt that we just brought last week.

Guy Zapoleon, Zapoleon Consulting: I’d interview President Obama and talk to him about what he had accomplished, what he would have done with a third term, and what he wished he had done differently. Then I’d go on an all-out crusade to try to convince Jon Stewart to reconsider running for President.

Randi West, WRMF: Johnny Depp and the themes would be countless including the trial.

Toby Knapp, WASH: Jesus the Christ, upon reason and belief the son of GOD. The theme would be “Here’s what I AM AND SAY about what you’ve done with the place, creation…” I’d ask for Muhammed and The Krishna, to be part of the conversation.

Lee Abrams, mediavisions: Stanley Kubrick, and his creative process.
