Among six types of verbal backchannel response, short verbalization is the main type of verbal backchannel response performed in the radio program Valentine In the Morning interview with Michael Bublé, while phrase becomes the least type of verbal backchannel response performed.

Among those functions, attempting interruption is the only function that does not appear in the radio program Valentine In the Morning interview with Michael Bublé, while showing awareness is the main function appearing in the radio program Valentine In the Morning interview with Michael Bublé.
