Back when I was managing The Beat, I'd tell interviewers: make sure you ask your subject the question "tell us about your project".
The other questions are probably more interesting, but first and foremost make sure that you're giving people a chance to enthuse about their work

My favourite remains @stevewmorris.bsky.social.
By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

The Black Guardian trilogy in Doctor Who is really quite deep and thoughtful, if you’re into twelve episodes of someone saying “I’m evil kill the Doctor” to somebody who can’t be bothered
