So I was debugging / documenting last night and put the "smoking gun" video on the background. I don't know why. I guess I felt if the WaPo was raving it must be good.
It was four middle aged men crammed into a cupboard, talking. And while I was not paying attention to every word, I missed the gun and the smoke.
Where is the bit where a MoFi employee says "we use digital"?
Oh is that what that meant - I guess I am used to journalists "telegraphing" things but the youtuber just seemed to carry on. That sounded like "oh yes we do that" to me but the lack of reaction meant Inmisunderstood
Maybe I am too used to over the top influencers and presenters signalling everything I should react to. But sometimes if I am in a jargon filled world it would be nice for a guide.
That's part of the skill of a good interviewer: making sure that the audience can follow along, understanding what's actually being said. The interviewer here is obviously an audio enthusiast/record shop owner rather than a journalist, so it's not surprising that they haven't had so much practice at this!
(I've done interviewing for academic research, which has different goals but is also a skill. It's interesting how difficult it is at first.)

All I heard was waffle and self congratulatory
