There’s one podcast format that’s more crowded than ever, can you guess which one? Yep, the interview format has more shows dedicated to it than you can shake a stick at and it’s mostly for the wrong reasons. If you’re not sure if the format you’ve chosen (pre or post launch) is the right one for you, let’s dig into why interviews may not have been the best choice and how to make them work better. Because interviewing isn’t the easy ride many podcasters think it will be but does have some advantages (although probably not the ones you’re thinking of)

I’m talking:

- Four common myths about the interview show format that are wrong

- Pros of the interview format

- Cons of the interview format

- The real way to leverage an interview

- Why solo-shows should be included in your podcast
