If you could interview any figure in the music, entertainment or sports fields who would it be and what’s the theme of the interview?

Rich Davis, KDWB: Taylor Swift, but not just about her being the biggest artist in the world, but also as a song writer. A window into the behind the scenes of the hit-making process and all that she’s done would be awesome. I’d also love to get an inside look on her as a marketer, businessperson, and CEO of the product of Taylor. Impressive is an understatement.

Jeff Hurley, iHeartMedia: Rick Rubin. He can’t play an instrument and can’t sing, but has a gift for hearing trends before they happen and has the ability to make creative people better at what they do.

Rick Vaughn, KENZ: David Attenborough, topic Earth.

Jammer, WEZB: Dick Clark. Get all the behind-the-scenes stories of American Bandstand and his legendary career.

Jana Sutter, WXXL: Nick Sabin, theme would be how to continually perform at your best and what sustains that level of achievement.

Jonathan Shuford, WRVW: Right now, Deon Sanders would be a nice catch and the theme would be, making people care about something that hasn’t been relevant for years. Also about his fascinating career.

Matt Johnson, WPLW: Jalen Hurts on leading by example. Go Birds!

 

Buster, WIOQ: Elvis Presley. I would want to hear about his impact as whole on music.

Dom Theodore, Radio Animal Media Strategies: Vince Lombardi on winning!

Adam Rivers, WKCI / WKSS: Deion Sanders. How to take mediocre talent to a new level.

Heather Deluca, WSJO: Taylor Swift and, ‘do these lyrics mean what I think they do?’ Tom Brady, ‘Teach Me.’ Lol

Randi West, WRMF: Taylor Swift, the theme would be vision.

Brian Mack, iHeartMedia: John Lennon, and I’d ask him, “If you weren’t killed, would the biggest tour comeback ever (or album) be a thing?”

Guy Zapoleon, Zapoleon Consulting: Tom Brady. For the 20-years I’ve been in New England, I’ve experienced most of the Patriots Super Bowl wins (and losses). So he’s brought all my family and friends a lot of joy! I became a Tampa Bay fan when he went there and him winning another ring brought Cathy and I a lot of joy. I’d ask him about the best things he remembers in his life, favorite stories including ones he may not tell very often, his world views, his political views and his secrets for success and belief in himself (and his teammates) often against all the odds.

Bob Patrick, WXLK: Paul McCartney. I want to hear about all growing up and all the craziness of Beatlemania.
