“Audio is more intimate, when you’re sitting down having a conversation with somebody, you can get more comfortable. I think when they come on television, they know that the segment is only going to be six, seven minutes. When you think about the compelling interviews that you saw on TV back in the day, of the compelling interviewers, it was the Larry King’s, the Oprah Winfrey’s, the Diane Sawyer’s, the Barbara Walters’. Why were their interviews so compelling? Because they actually took time. They actually sat down and had long-form conversations with these people.” – Charlamagne Tha God on why he prefers the intimacy of audio over television.
