As nice as it is to link to the actual interview, the blog post does so as well,...

"Blogspam" is slang used to refer to a specific rule on HN, rather than a literal description of content.

  Please submit the original source. If a blog post 
  reports on something they found on another site, submit 
  the latter.

So if a post "adds its own content to the mix" then it can't be blogspam, innit?

It's to mitigate people linking to the same story 10 times.

However, if the additional content is noteworthy, then you could link to it on HN, but make the title accordingly specifying that it is the opinion of the writer, and not the original source, that is what the reader should be considering.

Fair point.
