What I learned from Howard Stern about interviewing people 13 years ago

I've listened daily for the last 10 years and I can shed some light.

  > "The Interviews are more interesting if the person is naked."
This is absolutely not true. The best and most interesting interviews are the celebrity interviews, not the porn stars. Does Howard actually think he's going to get Denise Richards to take her top off? No. It's a tactic just like the tactics in this article. She says no the the extreme, but will compromise with something more tame but still revealing.
  > "If you don't have to follow the broadcast rules, you can ask questions nobody else can."
I agree with this, and I love that he can.
  > "If you hire a black female as your co-host people won't be so quick to call you a racist or sexist."
This sounds like it may work, but clearly doesn't. Howard has always been a supporter of race equality, gender equality and gay rights, but he's constantly viewed as a racist, sexist homophobe. Infact, when asked, people would rather date Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, "The Boston Bomber" than Howard Stern (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLF7SCNHctE)
