Broadcaster Paul Henry joins Dane Giraud on the art of interviewing and what separates a good journalist from a bad one. Henry argues the best interviewers listen hard and go in ready to be surprised, while the worst arrive with an agenda.
Now on the campaign trail, he reflects on the broadcasting skills he has taken into politics and what voters tell you when you are willing to listen.
The conversation turns to media and free speech: the Government's plan to scrap the Broadcasting Standards Authority, and what, if anything, should replace it. Dane points out that the tyre changer in Takanini is never the one shoulder-tapped to judge what is acceptable.
They finish on how podcasts and phone-made content have given working-class and South Auckland voices a platform. Both argue a broadcasting regulator could have put those voices at risk.
