    Unsolicited feedback as a fan of the show - this one left a bit to be desired. Jugpreet is such a charming dude and I think there was so much potential for this episode! (Maybe an extended cut could happen?) I think it would be good to try and ask more open questions that aren’t leading, and let people finish their sentences and stories. Sometimes you have to go with the flow for these things and let go of structure, which I acknowledge can be hard when you want to ensure the content is still entertaining.
    Also, perhaps a bit of self-education on how to interview people (esp people who belong to minority groups) in a way that lets them share their stories and experiences in a way that’s valuable to them, not just in a way that makes sense to _you_ . Part of this process requires you to not just recognise the presumptions you have about things but to think about where the presumptions came from. The extra self-awareness can make a huge difference. Also, don’t be afraid of “wording things wrong” - you can always correct yourself.
    SBSK does a pretty good job at this for reference. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy also come to mind. I’m a postgrad psych student who is personally a huge fan of NT. It’s an interviewing and counselling technique based on facilitating rich storytelling and conversation. All these examples are mostly designed for counsellors etc but they’re all generally relevant for making good conversation and learning about people ❤️

    hey derek i usually really like your videos but i think you need to do some more learning on how to properly interview people with disabilities ! a lot of this interview in particular felt like you were just asking questions you had written down and then weren’t really listening to any of his responses esp when u cut him off when he was trying to talk about music.

    I feel like it's good to have questions written down for when the natural flow of the convo stops, but normally new questions are formed as you learn about the person being interviewed. He brought up his spirituality and his relationship with music and I would have loved to have heard more about that. It's cool to have silly questions like what if you had a service elephant, but not if it's to cut off a genuine discussion. It's uncomfortable watching him genuinely trying to share his life when the interveiwer is making jokes while he's trying to talk.
    If you want to take the silly route, that's okay! But tell the person being interviewed that, because I'm not sure he knew.

    Derek gotta quit yapping and cutting off the guests. You as an interviewer are supposed to bring out the best in your guest. The whole point of an interview is to hear novel perspectives and by cutting them off you are preventing them from actually doing what they are here for. Multiple times in the interview he gets cut off for no reason completely ruining the flow of the conversation. It's actually so annoying.

    The thing/problem with Derek is that he doesn’t engage in a conversation beyond his prepared questions. Like there is never a “fluid” conversation. The episodes are unbalanced too much what Derek has to say/ask too little about the Guest. Don’t get me wrong, I like he’s funny and brings something different to the interviews, and I know being an interviewer is hard af, but if he could practice and incorporate some balance these interviews would be 10x better

    • @belhougoldenwind

      that's why to me the best episodes are always the ones with someone he already knew before hand, they sound like a real conversation. The fact is i thought he had that balance you are speaking about, but i feel like it changed just after the episode with Julie Vu (which was great), it's like he tried to change the formula a bit but he lost parts of what made the show interesting in the process

      If a seeing person has their eyes closed in a room and someone turns the lights on and off. They will notice the difference in light even with their eyes closed. A completely blind person won’t.

    Jugpreet seems so nice to talk to and full of positivity in regards to being blind.. i think its so much more important to embrace the differences in perspective that come with it rather than what he "wishes" he had or wanted if he weren't blind bc he himself took the step of indulging in interests/hobbies like music that *don't* require sight. Seems as though too often people who are differently-abled, instead of being appreciated for how they adapt to their divergence from the norm, are just seen as another group of people to be fixed.. I notice this especially when cures or wishful thinking are mentioned.. why do you assume a blind person needs to be cured so bad if they are comfortable in their life as a blind person?
