 My sense is the team at The Daily laid out this structure in advance. I can't imagine it happened by chance. I mean, why would you leave it to chance? Yeah, it's true. You don't want to plan every single second of an interview. It's helpful to let the line out and see where it takes you. But in this case, where you have two people who are colleagues working together to synthesize through conversation what one of the reporters has learned, I don't think it's really the place for a more freeform approach.
