The big fluffy, leather chair interview is a staple of the tech world now. A big named executive (usually) comes up on the stage with a big name journalist and is interviewed in a \\u201cwide ranging\\u201d discussion. In addition to videos of these being broadcast, tech outlets often write summaries - news stories even - based on the interviews, and others sometimes post \\u201clighted edited transcripts.\\u201d One of our favorite news sites, CRN, does this often. And while they do the sleazy thing of making 20-35 pages out of what should be a, at most, two page story, they\\u2019re usually good interviews if you\\u2019re into the the topic. Continuing a discussion we started in SDT #108, \\xa0we look at three of these interviews, giving us the chance to a close reading of the interviews\\xa0

themselves and talk about the format in general.

The three interviews: (1.) Meg Whitman, HPE; (2.) Steve Singh, Docker; (3.) Pat Gelsinger, VMware. All of them, of course, are CEOs.
