050 – How to Prepare for An Awesome Podcast Interview
from Smart Passive Income TV · host Pat Flynn: Online Entrepreneur, Business Strategist and Blogger
Today's episode is a vital one for all you podcasters out there. I'm sharing my top tips for preparing for an interview, gathered from the hundreds of interviews I've done on the Smart Passive Income Podcast. Don't make the mistake of viewing interviews as an easy opportunity to kick back while your guest does all the work. While you should always let your guest do most of talking, you (as the interviewer) have a responsibility to prepare. It's your job to ensure the interview runs smoothly, stays on schedule, and provides value to your audience. In this episode, I'll share my tips for becoming a master interviewer. I'll cover crafting the perfect questions, preparing your equipment, avoiding scheduling roadblocks, putting your guest at ease, and lots more. I also recommend checking out PodcastingTutorial.com, my step-by-step guide to getting started with podcasting.
