517. How to Make a Podcast Co-Host Relationship Work

A Podcast Co-Host Relationship sounds fun until different personalities, expectations, and creative habits start crashing into each other behind the scenes. In this episode, our cast and crew talk about what actually keeps a co-host partnership working, from handling conflict and sharing responsibilities to knowing when somebody’s carrying too much of the weight. There’s also that moment where a co-host stops feeling like just another voice on the mic and starts feeling like the reason the show works at all. By the end, you’ll probably think a little differently about the conversations happening before and after the record button gets pressed.
