Takeaways: How To Get Great Stories From Your Podcast Guests
- Having a guest who is higher up in their company will have more experienced stories. They will have more advice to give.
- It’s okay to not agree with your guest. Having different opinions will sometimes make the discussion more interesting.
- Get guests who have great personal experiences that they are willing to share. Having a personal story on the podcast will make your audience feel more connected to your guest.
- It is okay to steer away from your script. If a guest brings up a good topic, continue with it then, when the timing is right, bring it back around.
- Make sure you are listening to everything your guest is saying. You will need to be ready to take note of anything they say.
- Think about your audience when recording the podcast. Put yourself in their shoes to see if they will relate to the current episode.
- Do research on your guests before they come on the podcast. See if they fit your podcast audience. See if you can relate to them.
