# Interview Techniques — Podcast Interview Methodology

Specialist interview design knowledge used by the scriptwriter agent when crafting interview-format episode scripts.

## Why This Skill Is Needed

Podcast interviews are different from standard interviews. You must create tension and immersion **using only audio, with no visible audience**. Good questions yield good answers, and good answers determine listener retention.

## Question Design Framework: The DEPTH Model

| Stage | Acronym | Description | Example |
|-------|---------|-------------|---------|
| **D**oor-opener | Opening | An entry point where the guest can start comfortably | "What first drew you to this field?" |
| **E**xplore | Exploration | Follow-up questions that surface the story beneath the surface | "What was the hardest part about that time?" |
