In this episode, we break it down the eight essential tips for preparing your podcast guest to be interviewed.

First, we stress the importance of headphones (you’d be surprised at how many people skip this). Next up, we talk about the mic situation; because nobody wants to hear your guest’s laptop struggle to pick up their golden nuggets of wisdom. We also explore giving your podcast guest an outline of topics or questions. This helps them prepare and alleviates any pre-interview jitters.

Plus, we dive into how to promote their offerings during the episode. The real clinch of this episode, though, is bringing it back to the very real point that it's no-one's responsibility to promote your podcast episodes other than you.
