What's wrong with "I did Y" titles? If it's OP who's posting their content, it makes sense to me.

"Check out this unusual thing that I was able to do" is the emphasis rather than "Here is an interview with this person of interest."
I don’t read it that way. Titles like “I did X” are interesting to me because then I know it’ll be a firsthand account. Whereas if it says just what it is it could be more likely that it is instead only talking about the same interview from another source that I had already seen.
I'd rather know upfront that the author is the poster. Full disclosure and all.
