Oh, I was going to let this go by...because I, too, take exception to a lot of broadcast interviewers (Larry King? How'd he get there?) and their lack of preparation and background. In this case, I have 30-plus years of radio journalism experience. I not only read the article by Craig Childs, but one of his books as well -- however, I assume that not everyone knows him, or about PBR, bulls, rodeos, or gladiator spectacles. My idea has been to make these audio segments as widely accessible as possible -- but I'm open to suggestions from all about how to make these short (10-12 minutes, usually) interviews of more value to the HCN audience.

Hmmm…I thought this was an interesting podcast. In my mind, there is a difference between a podcast about an article on a magazine website and a radio interview about an article. If I hear an interview about an article on, say, "Fresh Air” (a program I enjoy) I know that I'll get the gist on the piece without reading it. And if I have already read the article, then the interview will mostly be a repeat.
I would say the value of a podcast on HCN.org is the "story behind the story." Most everyone who listens on HCN.org will have already read the article, as opposed to the listeners of a radio program. Hearing how Childs got interested in bull riding or how a writer connected the dots of an investigative piece provides what podcats listeners are after, I think. Both formats are valuable, but serve different purposes.
