“I normally very much enjoy this podcast and the stories it covers (hence the four-star rating). However, Katharine Murphy’s interview with Anthony Albanese was hugely frustrating. Murphy frequently interrupted Albanese (even when he was responding directly to her question and not going off on a tangent) and she would finish his sentences for him. A good interviewer adapts their style to suit their subject; Albanese is clearly a slow speaker, but Murphy simply wouldn’t let him finish his train of thought. Moreover, when she attempted to be a little more assertive in her questioning, which she is of course entitled to do, as soon as Albanese contradicted her or called her out on her line of questioning, she backtracked and seemed to do everything that she could to get back in his ‘good books’, so to speak. Poor questions and poor interviewing style. A real shame.”
