My Guest Died – Now What?

If you do enough interviews, somebody whom you've interviewed is going to die. Sometimes this will happen before you release the episode.   Then what? And what do you do if somebody dies after an episode has been released?   In this episode, I share my thoughts on the reality of doing lots of interviews (and sometimes even just a few) and options for how to handle situations of death, stroke, and sunstance abuse that affects your guests. I also share some great interview questions to help you get important people on tape.
