Recommendations for Preparing for Distressed Debt Fund Interview Quickly

I'm a second year MBA student, graduating soon, and just had a really good call with a headhunter about an opportunity at a distressed debt fund. My background is in classic private equity and sponsor banking, so I have little to zero experience working on distressed opportunities, special situations, etc. The process is likely to move fast, so I want to make sure I'm completely prepared as it sounds like an incredible opportunity and a space I'd definitely be working in.

How can I start studying to get fully prepared for interviews? What information would you recommend besides the distressed investing blog? Any recommendations would be super helpful, the main issue is that I want to get up to speed quickly.
