Ask HN: Recruiting Participants for an Interview

Happy Friday, folks! Was wondering if the community had any experience/thoughts on recruiting participants for a taped interview. The idea is to talk with a diverse group of people on a variety of topics on life, work amongst other things. I see a few user research tools that fit the bill, but wasn't sure since this isn't a product but more of an interview series with the common people.

Will be happy to compensate for their time!
