Media question, opinions needed

With a difference, this week’s podcast comes at you from the two mentalists who seem never to get thrown out of Studio L in Witney.

The difference is the treatment we’ve given to an interview with the organiser/producer of Cornbury Festival.

I took the audio, split it in to five very short segments and underlaid an ambient backing track to soften the start/ending of each segment.

What I want to know is, does that kind of treatment work? If you listen to it could you let me know?

Interviews are starting to become much more of a feature in the podcast and I’m searching for the perfect audio format.

I’m not a great fan of the Q&A interview technique, I would much prefer to try and achieve a relaxed, conversational style.

Although Q&A is the easy option to record and produce, I think it’s an artificial environment that lacks a comfort zone; I believe a conversational style is what works better for the listeners, and that’s what’s important, obv.

The reason I’m asking is because the podcast has (potentially, and only if things work out in the near future) the possibility of a couple of very real, A-List interviews.

And I want to know people’s views because I’m desperate that we get things right before other things might happen.

Thanks.
