ReplyDeleteThe interviewee was passionate and enthusiastic about what he was talking about. However, he spoke very fast and was difficult to understand. The interviewer was not so good because he let the interviewee do all the talking and didn't direct the interview. It was hard to understand the purpose of the interview because the interviewer didn't ask enough questions. In a traditional sense, this interview would be considered very casual, but taking into account that this conversation was over the radio, it would make sense that the interviewee would be more dominant in the conversation as he is telling his story.

ReplyDeleteI thought it was very interesting and informative at the same time! The humour allowed me to stay interested and still obtain the main idea of inflation and it's effects on the Canadian Dollar.
There was a pretty low level of formality in the conversation, there were lots of open-ended questions which allowed the conversation to flow fairly naturally. The questions were very well utilized and I would not rephrase any of them because I thought they flowed nicely. The interviewer picked up very nicely on the cues that were given by the interviewee and they worked off of each other's energy and mimicked the direction the conversation flowed.

The interview was good, but could have been better by setting up the issue more before hand. We felt lost listening. They seemed very comfortable during the interview, but this subtracted from our understanding of the issue.
It was difficult to hear the questions, so we couldn't understand where there were open/closed questions
DeleteThe level of formality seemed very low, they seemed quite comfortable with each other
There didn't seem to be lots of questions asked; the interview seemed quite story-like
The interviewer read the interviewee's cues; it seemed more conversation like rather than a formally structured interview

We found that Stuart McLean was better at articulating, pronunciation and tone. Peter Gzowski was a little more muffled and he seems a little too close to the microphone when he’s carrying out the interview. When Peter was laughing, it seemed that he did not tone down his laugh for the microphone which caused some cracking and feedback, whereas Stuart toned down his laugh to accommodate for the fact that he was in front of a microphone. Overall the interview was quite well done, both the interviewer and interviewee coordinated the conversation well together and were able to maintain an interesting conversation.

ReplyDeleteWe though the topic of the interview was unclear and did not make too much sense. It could have been better if they made more of an effort to not make as many jokes and focused more on making listeners understand what they were talking about.

This interview was interesting to listen to, had a good flow and tone, and was funny. It was dominated by one speaker though which made it slightly unbalanced.

It was a bit hard to listen to the interview because it involved a lot of laughter and seemed to be more of a conversation. It was good that the men were very comfortable, but I think making the interview more of a question and answer type situation would make listening to the audio version easier.
Also, the level of formality was not very high, and if I was the interviewer I would of kept the conversation more on track for people to more easily follow along

The interview was difficult to understand as there was too much background noise and laughter. It was hard to tell who was who because they were talking over each other. Another format for the interview would work better.

ReplyDeleteIt's evident that the interview is experienced and comfortable with what he is doing. It makes for an interview that is both fun and informal, but to listen to but a little difficult to understand. A lot of the time the speakers would overlap each other and the content was hard to catch. The interviewer does not use many close ended questions so that the interviewee can answer without being led anywhere. I believe that the interviewer read the cues of the interviewee.

Overall, the interview was good, but I found it was a little abstract. The volume was good but at times I still did not understand what they were saying. One of the speakers voice was muffled at times. They seemed comfortable and enjoying the interview, they kept joking a laughing together which was very pleasant for the listener.

ReplyDeleteThis is my CBC analysis.
The interview is about Peter Gzowski’s things that he purchased for a total of $1.25.
I found it hard to listen to something I wasn't interested about and both the interviewer and interviewee sounded the same.

I thought it was a very interesting and fun challenge, and a creative way to get out and understand the value of one dollar. They tried to include humour to keep it interesting, they clearly thought it was hilarious, but I felt a little bit lost. His voice was clear and easy to understand, but I think the topic should have been introduced better - it took me a while to figure out what was going on.
Directing questions were not well used, I felt that the interviewer was not very involved in directing the interview and that the Interviewee took over and just kept talking. It didn't seem like there was any reading of cues between them, the interviewee just kept talking right through thr interview. It was a very informal interview, as they kept getting a bit off topic and bursting out in laughter.
I definitely would have liked to see more more structure to this interview, a better intro to the topic, and have them slow down and have more of a back and forth discussion.

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the interview, it was humorous and was able to keep my attention, however sometimes the pace of the interview was too fast and hard to understand. As well, the interviewer did not do a particularly good job of asking questions.

There was minimal use of open and closed questions and the level of formality was quite low-the interview came across as very informal and personal, and not very professional. The questions were good but not direct enough, and did not get to the point of the issue. I would have definitely rephrased many of the questions. It is difficult to tell if the interviewer is picking up the interviewees cues since we are only listening to audio, but the interviewer does seem to play off of the interviewees humour, etc.

Interview analysis for "a 'sleeping' cricket" interview with Stuart McLean and Peter Gzowski:
ReplyDeletehttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1wfLuHe5t98EX-nbB8cCJAqGcpUj6VADeM0RHMCbufhE/edit
I found that the interview was extremely difficult to follow, and sounded more like a casual conversation that a structured interview. This wasn't necessarily a bad thing however, as it made the video clip easier to listen to!
Curtis Vieville,vand myself (Josh Perryman) are of the opinion that:
ReplyDeleteArticulation:,Good because some if the words were unclear
Description: Good, it took a while to get to the point and the topic was unclear for a while
Humor: Excellent, they were laughing the whole time
Pauses: Good:,sometimes they were speaking over each other and sentences became melded. O. The whole though pretty good breaks
Pitch: Excellent: was not dull to listen to
Pronunciation: good, as stated before words were a little unclear
Questions:
The majority of questions asked were open questions, allowing fior the listener to answer in their own way
The interview was informal and numerous
Questions asked were acceptable because this interview targeted the genral population. If questions were rephrased or changed then the interview might have targeted a more specific audience.
Speed: poor: made it hard to listen to, and caused for pronunciation and articulation to become unclear
Tone: excellent
Volume: excellent, easy to hear both people
Varince: excellent: was not monotone, nots of emphasis

We critiqued an interview on Woodland Caribou legislation. There was a good mix of open and closed questions. My questions were fairly closed, such as: how the idea for the legislation came about and what the benefits are supposed to be. These questions could also be given the interviewee's own personal slant.
The level of formality was quite low, as the original speaker was dressed in a caribou costume and there were some grammatical mistakes in the posted questions.
The questions asked were meant to give an overview of the topic in general, and were phrased well (except for "what is the agreement suppose to do?"). The interviewee could not follow the interviewers cues because it was just a question placed in text on the screen.

The point of a radio program is to entertain the listener. Entertainment can be defined in a variety of ways ranging from news, to informative talk, to humor. The 'a sleeping cricket' interview entertained the listener through humor and informative talk. The interview discusses inflation and and what one dollar can purchase today compared to 1973. Even though the interview was very entertaining and informative there are several areas that can be improved. The interviewer jumped right into the interview without giving background information on what they were discussing. This makes it difficult for the listener to be engaged right away. A little background information before the interview goes along ways in engaging the audience. Once the listener knew what the interview was about the enthusiasm and humor portrayed by the people involved allowed the audience to be entertained.

I listened to quite a few of Marion Nestle`s interviews. She is a food politics advocate and very well educated in the nutrition field. All of her interviews are interesting to listen to as she is very well spoken and knowledgeable. The particular interview that I analyzed was Marion talking with the Barilla center for food and nutrition about food politics and the impacts of nutrition.
