This morning, Stan deleted my comments and blocked me on his tiktoks. One comment was me being rude calling him a wah wah baby, but the other comments were constructive criticisms about his podcast.
I’ve mentioned on the Paul thread that before I became

I worked in radio and podcasts. I still had a podcast up until February this year with my husband. Interviewing people and podcasts is hard work, and I’m sorry Stan, you having a videocall with someone is not a podcast. Neither is playing “would you rather” with your mates.
To interview someone is quite hard, especially someone like Paul who likes to talk and talk. You need fo keep Paul on a tight lead and focused, but you let Paul run his mouth off while you sat there and went “yeah…”. We aren’t asking you to question Paul on his favourite colour, but maybe things such like why did he download tiktok in the first place? Does he think his life is better with social media? Etc. I can’t actually believe that you asked him about his mental health and you didn’t question him on the two times that he’s threatened to take his own life on tiktok. You could have handled that question with Grace, and got a sensible and empathetic answer out of Paul… but instead you totally forgot to ask it. You say you don’t do research prior to an interview… I’m utterly confused by that one as it’s just made you look like an idiot.
I was a bit narcissistic yesterday and listened back to a band interview that I did way back in 2005. I was 19, and I interviewed Fall Out Boy. You can literally hear my voice tremble and me apologising profusely, but yet somehow I managed to ask about their quick rise to fame in the UK, Pete’s nudes, and how did they feel about Pete’s side project and comics when they were just gaining traction. Through this interview I got free lance work with the BBC, Kerrang, fanzines in Eat Midlands… This proves to me that doing your research can help you go far.
I’d love to know what famous people you have interviewed Stan.
It’s a shame you blocked me. Heaven forbid you take advice from a woman who worked in the industry and can give you guidance. Looks like I’ll have to approach Paul for an interview myself.
