The Interview

Throughout the interview, Barbara Frum keeps her cool even after she was told that there were assassins on the to kill her and everyone who murdered the environment at that time. If Barbara didn't get a real answer (she rarely did), she would asked the question again in a different way. She also responds to all the answers she gets calmly.

If she had of been more aggressive, I think Lynette Fromme would have hung up earlier. Towards the end you can tell Barbara is starting to become frustrated and therefore more aggressive, and Lynette then hangs up.

I think the most effective question was when she asked why and was told that they were murdering people because these people were murdering the trees and the environment because I really think that it shows that shes insane.

From the interview, I think I learned that aggression is not the way to go. I know being assertive is part of interviewing but not everyone can tolerate it. I also think that I know how to respond to a wild interview.

I don't know a particular person I would like to interview, but I would like them to be fairly normal and give normal answers or answers that I could expect or anticipate. The interview would be pretty easy and wouldn't end up as the most popular interview ever, but I wouldn't be risking anything in the process.
