Welcome back to another episode of Podcast Growth University — a podcast about podcasts with your host, Kevin Palmieri. He is also the co-host of Next Level University, a global top 100 Self-Improvement podcast with almost 1,500 published podcasts. Their podcast team, Next Level Podcast Solutions, has published over 3,000 podcasts, so you can bet Kevin knows what he is talking about.

A successful podcast interview often hinges on the preparation that precedes it. In this episode, Kevin talks about pre-interview calls versus research, arguing that the latter usually trumps the former in today's fast-paced digital world. He emphasizes that for high-caliber guests, time is a precious commodity, and extensive research by the host can save time and set the stage for a dialogue that resonates with both the guest and the audience. Kevin also shares common podcast interview mistakes and tips.
