Often directly checks how the interviewee is feeling, acknowledges when something is difficult to discuss

Relatively free-flowing but acknowledges the fact that there is a form of topic guide with subjects that he would like to talk about

Early on in the interview, the interviewer heavily complimented the interviewee - focusing on building up their ego early on. Example: "I love his voice. I love his unapologetic sort of lover man style of performing. And he's [...] suave...."

This felt like an odd approach for a psychological qualitative interview, though applicable to this specific form of interviewing. The goal of a podcast like this is to not only interview, but also to provide entertainment to their audience. This approach feels like it could be helpful in a psychological qualitative interview when trying to disarm someone who needs their ego built up (e.g. narcissist).

His prepared questions were clear, but as the interview went on, he seemed to start to make assumptions. Example: instead of saying "it seems you felt ____, is that correct?", he would say "so you felt ____". It is quite leading and forcing a feeling onto the interviewee rather than allowing them space to name their own feelings.

Checks with the interviewee before discussing sensitive topics, like his dad and the stalking and makes sure he is comfortable discussing in the second half of the podcast

In certain areas, played devil's advocate in a way that felt as if he was pushing his opinion rather than redirecting back to the question

He allows craig to speak freely about his experiences but makes it a point to introduce key experiences in craig's career - for example louis brought up bo selecta mid-converstation rather than craig bringing it up himself

- Light self-disclosure builds rapport

- Reduces power distance

- May subtly shape responses

# data[].attributes.body
Louis evidently comes to the interview with assumptions and an understanding of craig's career and life. This is unlikely to be the case in a psychological interview as the researcher is unlikely to know the participant personally.

While Louis probed somewhat throughout the interview, there were some points where he missed the opportunity to do so. For instance, Craig was discussing his experience with racism, and while this would have been a good place to probe into his experience as a person of color (ie. gaining a holistic view of his experience), Louis did not. This could be a result of him wanting to stick too much to his script or his positionality as someone without experience with racism.

# data[].attributes.body
- Outsider stance encourages explanation

- Positionality is performed, not explicit

- Limited reflexive acknowledgement

# data[].attributes.body
Probing was at many points supplemented by Louis´ personal experiences and opinions which can be leading and risk the participant trying to ´please´ the researcher with their consequent answers.

He checked in with Craig like when talking about his stalker, if it's not a comfortable subject then they don't need to discuss it or to correct him if his instinct of his playboy style was wrong

Generally responds by slowing down the conversation, softening his tone, and allowing the interviewee to guide how far the discussion goes.

He mentions himself being caricatured by Lee Francis and shows the picture to Craig, indicating he has similar experience with Craig, although cannot totally walk in his shoes. This is a quite sensitive and moderate response to interviewee's distress.

when David revealed emotional distress, he gave some space in validating the pain and inserting how he relates to it. at times he was successful at not overshadowing and at other times it could seem a bit dismissive of David's experience
