j'aimerais toujours interviewer Martin un de ces jours
Explanation:
at one point = à un moment ou à un autre
interviewer is the usual verb used by jounalists. "interroger" suggests police interrogation but it is not impossible if you are an anti-franglais purist.

"Il y a des questions que j'aimerais bien poser à Martin l'un de ces jours"


Explanation:
Je sais que "questions" n'est pas la traduction de "sujets", mais comme le contexte est plutôt privé (à cause du prénom) "sujets" est presque un peu trop officiel. Martin n'est pas Monsieur le Ministre...
Ou bien:
Il y a bien des choses que j'aimerais demander à Martin l'un de ces jours.
