488. How to Interview Like a Pro: Reena Watts Gets Interviewed by Robert Plank (1,000+ Episodes)

from Better Call Daddy · host Reena Friedman Watts

Reena goes on the other side of the mic and brings it back home. This one's a flip of the script. Robert Plank — podcaster, interviewer, and WordPress wizard who's sat across from over a thousand guests — turns the tables and interviews Reena on his own show. Then Wayne tunes in, weighs in, and Reena wraps it with a custom intro just for the Better Call Daddy family. The conversation covers what happens when you spend years behind the mic before you ever step in front of it: how early experiences in entertainment shaped Reena's approach to storytelling, why vulnerability is the through-line of every great interview, and what it actually takes to find your voice as a podcaster. Robert brings the craft perspective — Reena brings the heart — and Wayne brings the commentary only a dad can. 🎙 HOW THIS EPISODE WORKS: Robert Plank's show interviews Reena → Wayne listens and weighs in → Reena adds a custom BCD intro 🔑 WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE: • What shaped Reena's storytelling instincts — and where the Better Call Daddy concept actually came from • Why vulnerability is the non-negotiable ingredient in any interview that sticks • Blending education with entertainment — lessons from 1,000+ interviews on Robert's end • How to research guests, find your voice, and actually connect with your audience • The evolution of Better Call Daddy — from concept to community • Networking, relationship-building, and why the conversations you have off-mic matter just as much ⏱ TIMESTAMPS: (00:00) Reena's custom intro for the BCD audience (05:15) Robert's background and how he got to 1,000+ interviews (15:30) Making podcasts fun without sacrificing substance (25:00) Reena's time in entertainment and what it taught her (35:45) Practical advice for aspiring podcasters (45:00) Wayne weighs in — dad's take on the whole thing 🔗 CONNECT WITH ROBERT PLANK: https://robertplank.com/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH REENA FRIEDMAN WATTS: Website | LinkedIn | Instagram | YouTube

We specialize in unpacking the nuances of what is considered sacred and profane, particularly focusing on sex, death, and all that pertains to the circle of life. Our aim in focusing on such ”taboo” subject matter is to demystify what is unconscious, bring to light what has been known for centuries as ”the occult,” and empower the rapid transformation that is occurring on the Planet.

Explicit Chinook Realm Religion and crime collide when a gruesome murder rocks the isolated community of Chinook, Montana. Local Deputy Ruth Vogel thought she was answering a routine animal control call, only to find a mangled corpse on the frozen embankment. Her small town is whipped into a frenzy and everyone is quick to point their fingers at a drug-addicted teenager, but Ruth suspects connections to a powerful religious group. Enter Agent Loro, an enigmatic FBI investigator tracking an evangelical cult that may have roots right here in Chinook. Loro and Ruth form a cautious partnership to find the killer—but as the mystery winds through Ruth’s life, her family, and her church, she’ll discover something more sinister than murder is afoot.Binge all episodes of Chinook exclusively and ad-free by joining Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
