Beautiful interview. I love the fact that she came prepared for the interview. She listened his music, viewed his videos, she analyzed his art, she knew his background. The questions were funny, respectful, she made him feel comfortable.... Actually, I think she is a dreamer.

[@AllisonHagendorf]

Thank you so much for this thoughtful feedback! ❤️🙏🏼

[@I_got_hexed_so_bad]

Fr i was saying "oh she's definitely a dreamer she knows Oh she knows " lol the best interview I've ever seen with ian ngl

[@ofthefforest]

I just adore how every time Ian does an interview, he ends up asking the interviewers such sincere and leading questions about themselves 😅❤

[@mehlanie13]

real, like whenever that happens, i always think to myself, "ian, are you the interviewee or the interviewer here?? :D", and his questions just throw the interviewers so off guard in a good way

[@MothieBerry]

tbh he just really got a way with people, like he makes them feel comfortable

[@zZech111]

She’s on point. Ian’s creative expression is so free and raw, an explosion of creativity without a blueprint that knows no bounds. Made me realized why I love his music so much

This by far one of the best Ian's interview, such a lovely & observant host

[@AllisonHagendorf]

Thank yo so much!

[@firefly1334]

I agree. You can tell she made him so comfortable. He seems a little nervous and kind of shy in most interviews. Somewhere around the middle he settled in and seemed totally comfortable to share. Great interview.

[@violet_oranges]

me: nothing can surprise me Ian: I wore socks halfway down 😂😂😂

i could listen to this man talk forever 😭 thank you, allison, for this interview and your lovely observations about ian’s music and artistry! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 and of course, happy birthday, ian!!!

You're the BEST interviewer I've ever seen. You're really good at capturing and getting to the point. I could watch you guys talk all the day. YOU ARE SO AMAZING, THANKYOU FOR ALL OF THIS!🥰

[@callie.9948]

Most significant interview Ive witnessed to date. I feel music, lyric, instruments and so innately..... Exactly as both of you described. It's also been an ongoing frustration of mine to find others that intuitively understand - no explanation needed. You both get it. I love it. Makes my heart sing.

[@AllisonHagendorf]

Thank you so much for this!!!! XOXO

[@iSharrr]

Wow this honestly felt much more like a therapy session as oppose to an interview, she has such a way with words that validates his words and feelings, and makes ian super comfortable sharing his thoughts. Loved this so much and please collaborate soon, can't wait for fire in may(?) ft nearing nothing or the other way round 😂❤

[@AllisonHagendorf]

Hahaha this is the best comment. Thank you so so much!!!!! XOXOXO

[@yakirareus4663]

First of all, I want to say I will watch any interview with Ian. I love the way he thinks and learning more about his creative process. However, this has been one, if not my favorite, interview. Allison did an incredible job getting Ian to open up more, and she is my musical spirit animal! 😊 She said many things I was thinking. I want to see her get interviewed one day. 😂

[@AllisonHagendorf]

You just made my day. Truly! Thank you! 😊

Best interview. I'm a big fan of Christian, DPR Ian. He is so talented and unique. The fact that he does everything from directing, editing, writing the music, singing and dancing is so impressive. I have tickets for his October concert in Chicago.

He is so special! Thank you for joining the show!

[@barbaraallen9000]

I love listening to him talk, he sounds so sweet. He is also so expressive & creative w/his work. The first time I heard him was thru his video Mr. Insanity & then I was hooked. I never thought that I would like K'Pop & rap, but I started watching all his videos & found out that he was not only a dancer, singer & songwriter; he also did his own directing, choreography & editing of his videos. His work & backstory is amazing, he just blows me away & I appreciate him being transparent about his life; he is very courageous. I've been following him now since December 2023 & I've never regretted it. I love all your work, you incorporate all different genres of music.

[@barbaraallen9000]

I just loved this interview, she was very knowledgeable about his work; it was excellent. Also, Happy Birthday Ian & may you have many more. 🎉❤

Great interview, Allison still got out of him some facts I didn't know about after binging all his content for months. As a side note, I love it when interviewer is honestly fangirling/fanboying over Ian, because one - I get it, understandable. And two - it makes him so flustered 😂

[@queenofpents3442]

This was a profound interview. Allison was an amazing listener. The best part of this interview was the love or art and music and how it changed both of them, but also that appreciation helped Ian elaborate on how music changed him and lead him to his artistic vision. Ian also asked questions because he also felt a level of camaraderie with her.I feel like Allison really understood Ian on a deep level, which allowed him to express his unique vision and though process and the fact she loves his music and understands it takes it to the next level. I thought she brought out the best in him! And they really meshed well. A very soulful and genuine interview. Would love another interview when Ian/Christian finishes his world tour! 🙏
