I loved to listen to Marc Pachter with his authentic way of being. His words are wise (he got this age where one can dare to talk about wisdom). His liveliness and his openness are amazing. I myself am forced into interview situations once and again. As an absolute beginner I really could learn from Pachter what it takes to get a quality interview that is of interest and thrill for others. As a good interviewer you have to be gutsy even for the sake of compromising yourself and you have to have the empathy to pierce the shell of your interview partner, and the interviewee on the other side has to have this urge to tell his/her story and should not be modest.
Marc Pachter is a cutural historian, and has spent his career curating and creating intimate portraits of the lives of others.
