I came across a tweet recently that featured a great clip from a lady who was asked, in 1977, what she thought about television.
Among the many aspects of this that are obviously and understandably different 42 years on is the fact the lady is allowed by the interviewer to just talk, uninterrupted, for five minutes.
The art of listening at work. Not so common these days.

This woman was likely approached for a snappy vox pop, but ended up delivering something closer to a dramatic monologue. Fantastic stuff. pic.twitter.com/vzQTAe3ujz
