Episode 025 The Art of the Podcast Interview

So many podcasters rely on interviews for a lot of their podcast content.  While interviews can be great and add a lot to your podcast, it is also risky. A lousy interview means a lousy podcast. So how do you make sure you get the best from the people you interview?

Having conducted over 8,000 interviews for the radio, TV and for podcasts, I have learned a thing or two about how to make the most of every interview opportunity. In this episode of the Perfect Your Podcast, podcast, I go in to:

Preparing for your interview

Preparing your guest for the interview

When to steer the conversation and when to let it take its own course

I also address the issue of what to do with a bad interview. If you do enough interviews, you will find some of them just don’t work. So now what do you do? I’ll tell you what I do and it may surprise you.

Here are the two links I discuss in the podcast on where to find guests:
