Sam Fragoso on Talk Easy

Sam Fragoso is the host of Talk Easy, the long-running interview podcast known for its intimate, deeply reported conversations with artists, activists, and public figures. Since launching the show in 2016, Fragoso has built a reputation for interviews that feel less like promotion and more like genuine exchanges, shaped by extensive research and a clear editorial point of view.In this episode, he talks to Matthew about the differences between written and audio interviews, why podcast conversations can feel more revealing, and how trust is built with guests. He also reflects on what it takes to create an environment where people are willing to open up, and how his approach has evolved over time.“I’m taping for the listener,” he says. “I’m thinking about someone in their car, at home, walking their dog and going, is this going to land?”To connect with the team and gain access to behind the scenes content, join our community at ⁠joincampside.com⁠.
