Presenter Well, what I’d like to ask you is how you
go about getting an interview with a star in the first
place. I mean, is it easy? Unit 2
Janice Well, no, not nowadays, anyway. Actually,
there was a time, fifty years ago, when you could
look up celebrities in the phone book, and call for a

chat. Back then, it was only Hollywood megastars, 1
you know, the really big names, who were difficult to 1 much / far, than
contact. It’s all changed now, though. Even a minor 2 near, as
celebrity will have a publicist, and that’s where you 3 less, the
have to start, with a call to a publicist. 4 The, the
Presenter And is it hard to get to talk to them? 5 most, slightly
Janice It depends where you work, to be honest. 6 than, just / nearly / almost
Working for a major magazine, as I do, means I don’t 2
have any problems. The magazine editor, or her PA, 1 more sensibly than
supplies me with contact information, and, as
2 as lucky as
Celebrity Magazine is well-known, I generally get
3 The tougher
through. Of course, if you’re inexperienced, it’s
4 as talented as
harder. Not only might you have to do a bit of
research on the internet to find out which publicist to 5 lot more popular than
call, but you might just find you’re put on hold or told 6 further than
that so-and-so is out of town. If they don’t know who 3
you are, they don’t always want to talk. 1 getting

Janice Well, it is, but it doesn’t mean you 3 Riding
shouldn’t try. There’s always a chance, even if you 4 complain
work for a small radio station or local paper. An actor 5 to play
who has just finished filming, for example, is keen to 6 come
be interviewed because they need all the publicity 7 jump
they can get, so their publicist will be desperately 8 to give
trying to arrange as many things as possible. It’s a
good idea to find out which celebrities have recently
done something they want to publicise. Just don’t try Vocabulary
getting in touch with them when they’re on holiday. 4
Presenter Sounds like good advice. 1 e
Janice Well, the best advice is to be persistent 2 c
and polite with a publicist, and clear about why you 3 f
want an interview with one of their clients. It’s their 4 a
job to make sure you aren’t going to ask any 5 b
awkward questions. So, they’ll really interrogate you
5
to find out what you aim to ask, and you may have to

just smile and say thanks if they refuse.

Presenter OK. So, to get that interview, you need to
