Weeks ago I booked a ticket for a live 'Blindboy Podcast' (Ireland's No.1 podcast)...his guests are a surprise and usually only announced the day of the interview. I thought it was going to be a Patrick Kavanagh/poetry related guest as it's at the PK Centre in Co. Monaghan but it could be anyone. Unfortunately on Instagram today Blindboy announced he's interviewing Naiomi Klein and asked if his followers have any questions for her. I hope he's interviewing her by phone and will put it out at a later date and it's not his show tomorrow night! Even the thought of sitting through 2 hours of her is depressing. It's a very small venue of less than hundred with an audience probably in their late 20s to 40s mostly.
If I'm unlucky enough that she's the guest, what should I ask her if given a chance? Was thinking something along the lines of the Canadian parliament applauding a nazi or the northstream pipeline but don't know where to start. Or just ask her how she can justify writing for the Guardian. As I said, hopefully this is a false alarm and she's not the guest (apologies if so!)
