I think it is how it works since always. Book tours on bookstores and book interviews (newspapers, tv, and radio) are a way of promoting book sales on launch for some time. Just added podcasts to the mix.
- fasthands9 4y agoI do sorta wonder how often people are turning down podcasts. Will MacAskill was on several of my favorite podcasts lately. Presumably it makes the interview slightly easier for the interviewer when there is a clear argument/thesis of the author but also seems like he would have been just as good of a guest 4 or 8 months ago (and 4 or 8 months from now) as he is now. And seeing he always has a desire to promote his work/his view I don't know why he would ever say no to a legitimate podcast. Was Will saying no to them then? Or asking people to wait? Or is much of this still sorta random and it takes the initiative of a third party PR person to connect people? (Replace whatever author you are thinking of with Will)
