I think once a month is ideal. More frequently and I think it might be less interesting/notable. But I don’t feel strongly and could see myself changing my mind pretty easily here.
I think having more frequent interviews would be interesting as long as the styles of the interview were dynamic. For example, I think lots of folks are interested in learning about the managers and the different roles in different effective altruism organizations, like this interview with Michelle. In this case, I think it makes sense to have them once per month. However, I can see how folks might get bored by having one of those every week. I think finding effective altruists who are doing work in some way unique, or who have some really novel opinions across a diversity of causes, would be the ones worth having interviews with as well.
For example, Soeren is currently working on a ‘working at an EA organization’ series of blog posts, which effectively act as interviews with the manager of each organization, yet the posts exist with a different goal in mind than the EA Interview Series, and are written in a much different style compared to a typical interview. I’ll think on some effective altruists who are doing especially novel work, and try figuring out if there’s value in interviewing them differently as well.
