Creative Elements: Setting Your Guest Up for Success (ft. Jay Clouse)

It’s a hard truth about interview shows: if the guest doesn’t deliver, it’s not their fault. Instead, it’s the host’s responsibility to walk away with an insightful, informative, and engaging recording. In this episode, 3 Clips host Jay Acunzo talks with Jay Clouse, a podcaster who does an exemplary job of setting his guests up for success; by drawing on research, past experience, voice over, and a little bit of sound design. Listen to learn how Jay’s show, Creative Elements – where he interviews creators about how they came to perform their craft full time – stands out from the pack. Also in this episode: how to book guests you don’t know with a great cold email.
