There are a few things you need to consider when becoming a podcast host. In this episode, Kane and Ash talk about the common mistakes podcasters make as a host and also give tips on what to do to make yourself sound great and appeal to both your guests and your audience.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Check your equipment: Check you are recording, that you have backups etc. Wearing headphones is a great way to ensure everything sounds good.
- If you’re doing an interview, let your guest talk!
- When you ask a question, leave a pause, people will fill the silence and this is usually where your best content comes from. It also stops you from accidentally interrupting them.
- ‘Mhms’ and constantly saying you agree sounds awful on audio. Instead, smile and nod to keep the conversation flowing.
- Share the content you create with your guest with them to utilise and use themselves.
- When you interview someone, ensure you add them to your network and build a relationship with them.
BEST MOMENTS
“I like to sneak people into the interview”
“Active listening is vital”
“Make sure you’re repurposing your content for the guest”
“Try and become friends with everyone you’ve interviewed”
