“Interviews” like this one are one reason I stopped listenting to Hugh many years ago.
He makes clear that he is not interested in what the “guest” has to say, and that he is determined to prevent his victim from passing along any facts or opinions to the audience.
Instead, Hugh launches into a barrage of bush league badgering which has no purpose or effect other than to annoy the person being interviewed.
Which is not to say that people like Corn don’t deserve to be annoyed — Hugh probably feels he is doing a public service in so doing.
But the end result is neither informative nor entertaining, — and makes for very poor radio.
OK. I haven’t listened to him in a while. You may be right.
