'After more than 464 episodes of this podcast, I need to be straight with you. There's a very good reason I don't produce clickbait.' | SaltWire

I’ve learned long ago that adversarial journalism can be popular. Confrontational interviews can be entertaining to viewers or listeners.

But I’ve also learned long ago that people tend not to be their authentic selves when they feel threatened or attacked. Not to say you can’t ask them tough questions. Just that when people take a defensive posture, there’s little to no opportunity for insightful or enlightening answers. Only inferences and assumptions.Op-ed Disclaimer
