We are pulling back the curtain and shining a light behind the scenes to discover what makes a great interview podcast. There’s no better guest to get this podcast started than Ethan Beute, a venerated B2B marketing thought leader, author of Human Centered Communication and Rehumanize Your Business, a movement speaker, and Chief Evangelist at BombBomb. Ethan is the host of both The Customer Experience Podcast and Chief Evangelist. Ethan shared how to create an incredible guest experience on your podcast and each step he uses to make sure every guest feels comfortable and prepared to share great insights before their podcast recording date.
Takeaways: How To Improve Your Podcast’s Guest Experience
- Good questions with good follow-ups that make the guest think about themselves and the work they do a little differently are part of a refreshing conversation.
- If you take care of the guest and make them feel comfortable and confident, you will put them in a position to be their best selves.
- Before talking to a guest, doing prep work is very important. Make sure they are confident and comfortable in the recording and the process.
- Don’t forget to also prepare yourself. Spend 30 minutes before the recording to be ready for the recording.
- You want to set the right tone off the top of the show. Let guests know right away that you put in your homework without saying you did a bunch of homework.
- Your guest’s experience is a great filter to use when judging a podcast decision.
