FWIW, I really try and make the interviews about the person I am interviewing and let their views come out. I try and be moderately versed in their topic and then, hopefully, ask good questions so that their view gets out - not necessarily my view.
I hate interviews where the dialogue is too much mental telepathy instead of real verbal information being passed. Having said that, if you are listening to my CPAC interviews you will probably be able to buy a small home in California with a nickle for every, "Ummmm", "Right", "Duh" that I utter over the course of three days of interviews.
