I’m going to continue helping you become the BEST podcast host for your guests that you can be. And, on this Podcasting 101 episode, I will focus with you on preparing the content for your guest interviews, starting with the decision whether to send boilerplate questions to your guest ahead of time. Plus, I will reveal the two questions I always recommend that you ask guests before you interview them. Then, I will take you through my process of researching your guest, preparing your topic points, and organizing your questions to maximize the flow of your conversation. And, I will also share with you the two particular elements I want you to be looking for when you are researching your guest in the first place, so you can create great moments in your interviews. Listen in and let's do this...!

For my next Podcasting 101 topic, I’m going to help you prepare for your guests by taking you through the four main steps of the process. First, where do you find them? Then, once you’ve found them, what are the best ways to approach them? And, in terms of scheduling your guests, I’ll cover two opposing schools of thought. (Who knew such a simple step could cause so much controversy?!?) And, last, I’ll walk you through the instructions you will want to provide your guests, so they can best prepare themselves for your recording session. In this episode, I will take you from discovering great potential guests through to the final instructions you’ll share with them as you hit that record button. Listen in and let's do this...!
