EPISODE 121 - Podcast Host Tips For Interview Based Podcasts - Learn From The Experiences of Others

Some suggestions for podcast hosts with guests! Compiled from some of my podcast buddies about interview guests on your podcast.

- be sure to comment on your guests when they post on be a guest sites confirming to others how great your former guest is - your support as your guest looks for more podcasts to be on is super helpful

- remember - you do not have to accept EVERY guest - be selective

- Leverage pre/post show planning for each of your guest

- pre-interview/planning sessions can be impactful and helpful to new podcast guests with limited experience

- make your guest comfortable on your show

- treat people well and the results will follow

- server your guests

- communicate with guest - give guests a brief synopsis of your show, the reason that they would be a good fit, and the benefit your guest will receive by being on your show

- if a guest mentions a mentor, resource or helpful tool - reach out to that suggested resource and invite them on your show as well if it serves your audience

- keep a running track sheet on guests - track all the processes of your show and keep track of guests that have been great or not so great

- big take away - Podcasting is about THEM not YOU
