- Working Without Pants
Though hosting your podcast and interviewing guests may seem a little intimidating when you’re just starting out, it’s much easier than you think.
As a host, you’ll actually only be speaking a small portion of the time. It’s your guests and their insight that fills most of the conversation.
On this episode of the Working Without Pants podcast, I’ll cover the tips and strategies you can use to conduct engaging interviews with world class guests.
I discuss the importance of researching your guests in advance and taking this information to brainstorm questions about your guest’s background and experience that you want to explore deeper.
I highlight why you should let your curiosity drive the flow of your interviews and the crucial role that active listening plays in keeping your conversations engaging.
You’ll also learn why great podcasters always have a set of fallback questions to rely on if their initial questions don’t take up as much time as they thought.
With these tips in mind, you’ll be well on your way to conducting great interviews that bring true value to your audience.
