You should check out Frank Parker's interviews to make sure you aren't duplicating what he's doing.

Other than that, my expertise in interviews is limited to running very
fast when someone asks to interview me.

Not counting the news segment, I've come to expect Filkcast to be
mostly music, with your introductions to the songs. So questions
whose answers would fit well into those introductions might be good,
as might questions whose answers would suggest songs to you.

All of these are bare suggestions which should obviously be phrased
better if you decide they're useful.

If someone hasn't heard you before, what song(s) would you like them
to hear as an introduction to your oeuvre?

Have you some interesting stories about how you came to write any of
your songs? Any meanings in them that people tend to miss because
they don't know you (or your interests)?

Many filkers just listen or sing. Relatively few record. How did you
get started recording?

How did you and your partner(s)/bandmates/technician(s) get together?

Who do you listen to that I should, and that I might not have heard?

Did you ever run the filk track at a convention?
Did you do anything unusual?
How did it go?

In case you decide to interview people here, not just at OVFF:

Name

Lee Gold

How long have you been in Filk?

I published two pages of filk songs I'd written in August, 1967 in The
Third Found #77.

Stuff like that. Any ideas for other questions?

I write mostly songs to other people's tunes but a few songs to my own
music.
I publish some collections of my own song (FILKER UPs)
but also a bimonthly filkzine of otherr people's songs (XENOFILKIA).
I have also published convention songbooks.

I haven't won any Pegasus prizes.
I am in the Filk Hall of Fame.
I have been a convention Guest.

2. What is filk anyway, in your opinion?

Could be interesting to hear people explain how they get to their
conclusions, if people are willing to listen and ponder rather than
debate. Could also be an invitation to rants, if not handled delicately.

3. If you were an insect, which one would you be?

To answer some earlier questions in this thread. I'm not going to be doing anything close to what Frank is doing. These won't be full interviews/conversations. This will be a handful of short questions with short answers that will go on the show once a
week. Think Bernard Pivot.

Answers here won't help, since I want audio.

I will open it up to folks who are not at the con. Give them the questions, they give their answers, they email them to me, I put it all together. And I don't necessarily want it to be the recording/performing filkers. Any Filk fans, especially those who
are not generally recording/performing.

And it might not work, it may cut into the music too much.

Is there another filker whom you think more people should know about? Who?

Do you have a favorite filk recording (other than your own), and if so
why's it special to you?

What is your favorite online community of filkers?

How happy do you get when it gets 20 new posts in just a couple of days?
