E13 - Tips for starting an interview based podcast

EPISODE 13 - Tips for starting an interview based podcastStarting a brand new interview style podcast with no guests can seem daunting! How do I get a guest when I don't have any episodes?  I am willing to help you by being your Podcast Interview Test Dummy!  Even if you do not use the interview as a podcast release!  Let's create an interview where you can practice with a real person, I can coach you along and give you some great tips to get more comfortable as the host of your interview based podcast!In this episode we also discuss the importance of a pre-interview, what you can learn about your guest by meeting with them separately from the actual interview.  Build a bridge with your future guest by pre-interviewing them!I use Calendly to book guests via email, in Facebook #BeAGuest #FindAGuest groups and on my website.  Calendly doesn't pay me to endorse them - I just like the ease of use, being able to set up different types and lengths of meetings and then even partner with Zoom to create a zoom meeting within the invite.  Be a great host and your guests will direct other potential guests your way.  Do your homework, listen to your future guest on other podcasts, get a feel for how they are in an interview, check out their book reviews, watch their movie, listen to their song, check out their YouTube videos - be prepared!  A prepared host can drop the scripted questions that bore everyone! You got this! Go create an episode today!___https://howtopodcast.ca/
