Having a guest on your podcast is a big deal. It may seem like a common thing because guests appear on podcasts all the time. But there are many layers to the guest-host-producer dynamic that will not only help you build kick-ass content for your podcast, but build relationships that allow you to expand your network and, if you play your cards right, grow your upcoming guest list exponentially.

Episode 40 of Pod Theory is all about how to communicate with guests. I take this initiative very seriously, both for my podcasts, as well as my client's podcasts that I help produce. I want to ensure that any guest that's set to appear on a podcast I'm connected to feels welcome, feels appreciated, and has a clear understanding of what their role will be in the production of their episode.

In this episode, I break down my approach in detail so you can apply the same initiatives to your guest recruitment. Establishing strong communication with your guest from your very first interaction will pave the road for everything to go smoothly, from pre-interview all the way through episode publication and beyond.
