This week, Working producer Cameron Drews gets a masterclass in interviewing from Sam Fragoso, host of the Talk Easy podcast. They discuss in-person vs remote interviews, the importance of follow-up questions, and what it means to capture “an honest snapshot” of the guest. 

After the interview, Cameron and co-host June Thomas discuss the role of good taste and anxiety in creative work. 

In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, Sam talks about collaborating with his producers and participating in post-interview photo shoots.
