Stephen Totilio at Kotaku has done something rather interesting with his E3 interviews. He asked each person to provide a question for the next interviewee. So we get Nintendo Devs asking Microsoft Execs if they like Miyamoto, and MS asking Sony what they think of XBox Live. It's a great idea and one of the reasons I think Totilio is one of the most interesting games journalists about. Just wanted to share, because I'm a generous drunk.
Chain Interview.

A bit OT but...
You also might be interested in the brilliant Chain Reaction series on Radio 4. Very similar concept... Essentially each episode is one comedian interviewing another. The following week the previous interviewee gets to interview one of his favourite comedians... and so on. Always good value and the Phil Jupitus ones were hilarious imo.

Totillo has been doing this ever since his multiplayer days. dude's one of the best journalists in the business.

That BBC thing may be the the funniest thing I've ever heard Johnny Vegas do, and Stewart Lee Interviews Alan Moore sounds like it could be a wonderful bag of mental.

Really glad someone else on the planet likes it :) There are ( I think ) 3 series' now so it's always worth tuning into BBC 7 to listen to the re-runs. IIRC Bill Bailey did a couple of them.
Actually, hang on, bizarrely there's a wikipedia entry about it.

I don't like the sound of series 4 that much but 1-3 are pure gold and I'd loved to have heard the original 1991 series with John Cleese. In fact on closer inspection Series 2 looks like a blinder.

The weird side effect of this is you can tell that the least popular person interviews on the first programme (i.e. No-one wanted to interview them) and the most important person is interviewed at the end (i.e. Too important to waste time interviewing someone else).

The Alan Moore interview is up and it's really good.

New series has started and this week it was Dave Gorman and Frank Skinner. Bloody funny it is too - well worth a listen :)

Skinner interviewing Izzard should be good :)

Where can I find the Alan Moore interviews?
Posted 3 years ago # -
Yup skinner vs izzard should be absolutely golden :)
Best bet for Alan Moore is to wait for it to pop up on radio 7 again. For copyright reasons they only let you listen to them on the week they've been broadcast. You might find it on a torrent site if you're lucky though :)
