Most podcast interviews suck. That's because most hosts have no idea how to get quality information and stories from their guests.

I can help you.

I've done hundreds of radio and podcast interviews. And over the next month, I'm going to be releasing a series of episodes called "Podcast Interviewing School." In this series, I'll be going over common (and not-so-common) situations you may find yourself in when doing a podcast interview as well as what to do when they happen.
