About It Started with a simple idea: Pick 20 or 30 people we admire and ask them each to interview someone they admire. Then we found out that you are supposed to hit the record button before starting an interview and things kind of spiraled from there. But somehow we were fortunate enough that the folks whose conversations you can read in The Interview Issue of Whalebone were pretty patient, kind and, most of all, entirely worthy of admiration. They picked some other pretty admirable folks to talk with, and now you can get their conversation beautifully printed and bound and delivered to your home. In this issue you’ll find Accidentally Wes Anderson interviewing the actual Wes Anderson; comedian Mark Normand getting ready to interview comedian Colin Quinn (spoiler alert: they talk about comedy); pro surfer Mick Fanning reflecting on his great white encounter with the “Mother of Sharks,” diver and ocean researcher Cristina Zenato; pro snowboarder Mark McMorris talking about Jake Burton with Benji Weatherley and a lot of other far-ranging and fun conversations between artists and designers, wine geeks, athletes, philosophers and mycologists, musicians, bakers, and other admirable folks from all walks of life.
