Getting people to listen to your podcast is hard enough, but keeping them as listeners is arguably harder.   Podchaser asked their followers, "What turns you off from a podcast?"   In this episode, I talk about some of the replies and how to work around common podcasting issues that listeners find repelling.

What makes some podcast interviews stand out? Why do you want to keep listening to some hosts, even when their guests aren't that great? How can you bring the best out of your guests?

These are the kinds of questions I think about all the time. So I brought in a guy who thinks about these things just as much as I do to discuss the opportunity podcasters have every time we sit across from a guest.

I talk with Joe about:

• Reverse Mentorship
• How to get better at something
• Learning from books (or podcasts) vs. learning from people
• The difference between a "conversation" and a great podcast interview
• Preparing for podcast interviews
• Red Light Syndrome
• How to keep growing and getting better as you age (or just do something for a long time)
• The pros and cons of doing podcast interviews with video vs. doing audio-only interviews

• Damn Good Conversations
