Importance of Good Research in Interviews

Good questions in interviews are often a result of thorough research. Many interviewers lack the time or incentive to conduct in-depth research, leading to less incisive questioning. However, the podcasting medium allows for a more democratized approach to asking questions, with interviewers around the world striving to ask better questions and push each other in that direction. The dominance of time constraints plays a significant role in interview quality, especially in today's journalism where the focus is on clickbait and minimizing costs. Funding for in-depth research becomes a challenge, but striving for well-crafted questions enhances the interview's value.
