Interviewer Testimonials

 

Celeste Labadie is a remarkable interviewer. She listens intently. She guides the discussion without limiting it. Her insights are original and interesting. Her questions are open-ended and allow the conversation to unfold naturally. When Celeste and I finished talking, I thought, Wow! This must be what it feels like to be interviewed by Gwen Ifill or Charlie Rose.

~ Teddi Doleski, Author

Celeste, I want to thank you for the fabulous conversation with Laurie Anderson on KGNU public radio. You were so specific and conversational, I felt like I was eavesdropping on two artists meeting over the phone.  Beautiful radio.

~ Kit Hedman, Photographer and Poet

Celeste Labadie makes a work of art of the author interview. I’ve heard her interview a number of authors on a wide range of topics, and it’s obvious she reads the book, thinks about it deeply, and asks illuminating questions. She uses her considerable insight and tact to draw out the author and showcase the book with wit and sparkle.
