Anyone wanting to have the presenter role in the Advanced Radio module this semester should have a listen to this audio of how not to do an interview.
This involves BBC WM's Les Ross, a well known voice in West Midlands radio interviewing Hardeep Singh Kohli from the One Show, where Les makes several slip ups with his questions making Hardeep feel that extra bit more uncomfortable.
I personally find Hardeep's presence on our TV screens a bit much with the loudest turbans that can possibly be seen anywhere. I'm sure I saw him presenting some sort of game show on CBBC a few days ago which proves a point to an extent.
Overall though the lesson here is to make sure you do your homework about the person being interviewed beforehand to avoid any Partridge-esque moments on air.
All the same it provides entertainment for the right or wrong reasons.

What a great interview. That was so funny in an awkward kind of way. Good find Blammy!
Yo Blammy, You know that awkward interview was actually PRE-RECORDED!
It's true! Check out this 'media monkey' piece from the guardian:
