Today’s episode is about remote podcast interview best practices for first-time guests. Pharmacists, students, techs, professors, etc get invited to be on podcast interviews all the time. Want advice from an experienced podcast host (and guest) about being a first-time podcast guest? You need to listen to this episode! I have published almost 200 remote podcast interviews and been a guest on at least 10 remote podcast interviews since 2019.
