One of my proudest moments was booking Bill Joy of Sun Microsystems on Fresh Air in 1989. My prep for the show involved reminding him to use metaphors, stories & metrics that non-techies could relate to. (I also brought donuts, which he called "fat pills") He was a movie buff, so he was able to talk about the future in a way a lot of tech execs I trained couldn't.
