I remember the interview with Matthew Sweet very well. I asked him (I assume on Twitter) if he felt it was quite ethical to invite someone on to talk about their book and then spring a trap like this. I have a podcast (it's great! https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/subject-to-change/id1436447503) and have people on to talk about their books. I would never treat them like this. I think it is a betrayal. Sweet was entirely happy with his approach and to this day I am still unsure what to think about it. He is a journalist in a way that I am not. But still.
