When making media of any kind, one of the problems with interesting people is that quite often, they’re very interesting. And so when you’re trying to do a series of five-minute interviews, sometimes you’ll end up talking to them for much more than that.
My first instinct, because of my radio background, was simply to edit this 18-minute interview down to five. But then I figured that you might actually be interested in hearing the rest.
Besides – the ‘five minutes’ thing was just a device rather than an actual limitation of space or time. If you really want to stop listening after five minutes, you can – and you’ll still have heard a very interesting piece of audio about a very interesting man. However, if that first five minutes makes you want to hear more about Andrew Cowie, there’s more to hear.
