It’s clear that your reading and analysis of other interview features has paid dividends with this interview feature (which also has a clear professional context as many podcasts will use a similar approach to re-tell stories in text format on their websites). You use a standfirst well, make a good choice to lead the headline on a quote, and apply web writing techniques (try to keep paragraphs shorter, though, and add subheads)

Because this is an interview, you could bring in your first quote earlier — we want to hear from the subject first, and let that dictate what background you fill in (or use background to introduce tension between quotes).

Try to ‘show, don’t tell’: where you say “recalls Paul with loving affection” you could instead *show* that affection, e.g. “recalls Paul, his face beaming”.
