Episode Takeaways
Prepare your guests early. Explain the format, share some of your questions, and make sure they understand how to set their room up to make a good quality recording or have directions to the recording studio.
On the day, check that they are framed properly on the screen and that their sound is good.
Help your guest to relax by having a brief chat before starting the recording. Your podcast interviews will be much more interesting.
Begin the conversation with an engaging question instead of their backstory.
Promote your guest’s services throughout the episode, not just at the end. Keep in touch and encourage them to share the episode by sending them clips and asking if they know any other potential guests.
BEST MOMENTS
"Anything, I promise you, anything, will be better than the inbuilt microphone in their laptop or webcam."
“There is nothing worse than having to end a podcast early because your guest wasn't prepared for how long they were going to be there.”
"Remember you are the host, and you know the most. You need to coach them through this process."
"Make sure that they're sat up straight, that they're looking into the camera, that there's no weird angles or anything like that."
"Promote their stuff so they feel like it was worth it."
