Entry 4:

Jay Baer’s speaking style, while enriched with knowledge on chosen topics, takes a secondary seat to the guest as they maintain the expert in the field outlook. This allows Jay to add comments every now and again that clarifies for the viewer in more simplistic terms what is being discussed. This form of interviewing, I believe, would take form in structured and unstructured alike. It can be seen to be unstructured through the open-ended questions and ability for interpretation from the guests, however, also can be seen as structured through the chosen topic that Jay keeps referring back to and the interjection from Jay that allows them to remain on a chosen path. Furthermore, Jay asks two questions to his guests at the end of the interview that always remains the same which involves “If you could give somebody one tip to become a social pro, what would it be?” and “If you could do a video call with any living person, who would it be?” which reflects a structured end to the podcast and gains an insight into the personal preferences of the guest which makes them more relatable to the viewer.
