Great interview with Larry King focused on his interview style: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/larry-king/id124844662...

Some great stories in there including one about how in his early days he would play a game with his producer where he’d go in blind and try and figure out who his guest is. I guess this helped him develop his “average guy” style. While series is worth a listen if interview styles is of interest.

My favorite part of this interview about interviewing. King: "I hate interviewers who don't ask questions but make statements" Thorn: "Well that's just what I was going to say. One of things about your interview style that's special is you are a very modest interviewer. You're not afraid to ask a simple question.. uh what is this..." King: then interrupts his statement and riffs as if Thorn had asked the question "Why do you ask simple questions". :D
