I am working on interviewing 100 people (about where they live, what they do, what they like, what they don’t like, what they are afraid of, and other cool stuff). I am going to put the interviews and some of the pictures I take into a book. I am going to try to sell the books and give the profits to the ASPCA. If you would like to be interviewed, email me at matthew_intheair@yahoo.com. If you want to put a button on your blog, click here.
Check out my interviews…
Matthew Baldwin of defective yeti
Cat, who runs a pub in Somerset, England
Josh Gallaway, the Electrochemist
Tracey from Yeah My Foot
Steve from The Sneeze
Jen from Australia
Sarah Vela from Life in the Big City
Stephanie from Only Bad Thing About It is…I Ain’t Already There
Angel from They’re All Our Children
Joanne from Cutest Baby Ever
Matthew:
this is a great website and a great project! I wish that the technology had existed when I was your age, as I would have been all over it! I’d love to help out if I can, so if you need a not-so-interesting person to fill up space in your book, just let me know!

Hi Matthew,
I’m friends with Matthew of DefectiveYeti. Your interview with him ROCKED. So far, all your interviews have rocked.
If you’re still looking for volunteers, my website is a bit outdated but I share your love of cats, I box, and I used to help women have babies at home.
I think I’m at least somewhat interesting…
Keep up the photography and enjoy your new kitty.

I would love to volunteer as an interviewee, if you still need any. I love reading your interviews.
Also, I remember you writing a post asking for video of silly cats. I don’t have cats, but I’m trying to catch my rabbits or my rats doing something goofy. (Shouldn’t take too long!)

Hey Matthew,
I really like your interviews, and I would love to be interviewed by you. I’m in college, and I work as a researcher who studies voice and the vocal folds. My major is neuroscience — I’m planning to go to medical school.
I have a blog of my dreams, but I’m not sure that the content of my dreams is 100% kid-friendly, so I don’t want to link to it directly.

Hi Matthew!
I just wanted to make sure that you got me on your list of people to volunteer for an interview….
I just wasn’t sure and wanted to let you know.
Sorry for the second comment about it though!

[…] Thank you for reading and liking the interviews! I hope you like the next stuff I do, too. If you are an interview-reading craziak, could I suggest two places you could go get your fix? Ransom Note Typography is starting a series and of course, Matthew from In The Air who interviews an awesome variety of people. […]

I loved your interview with Maggie. That was a great question about the Golden Gate Bridge.
I’m a children’s librarian in Texas, if you’d like to interview me.
Good luck with your project! Sounds like a great way to meet a lot of interesting people.

Hi Matthew. I found your blog from Josh Galloway’s blog. I would love to be interviewed if you are still looking for people. I am a freelance writer in DC, and I guess that is sort of interesting. At least, I get to meet and talk with some interesting people.

Hello Matthew. We live in Mexico (4 kids; 2 adults) and have been traveling for the past 3 years in our RV. Looks like you have tonnes of interview subjects lined up, but feel free to ask away.

Hi Matthew! As a college student who homeschooled from 2nd grade all the way through my senior year, I want to tell you how cool I think it is that you’re writing this book. The stories you will learn, the friendships you’ll make, and the skills you will acquire from this are going to be fantastic! I promise! If you need someone to interview, I would be happy to volunteer, but it looks like you’re not lacking for people just itching to have you interview them! I can’t blame them. I’m honestly a little envious myself. Congratulations on doing something that many people will never have the nerve to try, kiddo. I know you’ll do great!

Hi. I found you from The Well-Read Hostess. If you need more people, I’d be thrilled to help you out.
What a cool project! And with all this blog publicity, you’re sure to sell a bazillion books. Or a bunch, at the very least.

Hi Matthew, this is such a cute idea. I just read your interview with Steve from thesneeze and I’m looking forward to reading your interview with Adam Savage. If you’d like to interview me as well I’d like to go on the list! Good luck with getting to 100.
