The cringey story of my under-prepared interview
Have you ever finished a podcast interview and instantly wished you could do it over?
In this episode, I share the most awkward interview I’ve ever recorded and all the messy lessons that came with it. From not preparing enough, to mixing up guest details, and even interrupting mid-sentence to yell at my kids... yep, it all happened.
But I’m also walking you through how I turned things around and now prepare for interviews in a way that feels structured and human.
If you’re still doing interviews on your podcast, this one’s for you. I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what went wrong, what I do differently now, and how you can create a better experience for both you and your guest.
This isn’t about perfection, it’s about being prepared enough to feel confident, while still sounding like yourself.
Have you had your own awkward podcast interview moment? DM me on Instagram and we can cringe together. I’d love to hear your story @podcast.support.services
