Pros and Cons of Interview-Based Podcasts + Best Practices for Recording Interviews

In addition to talking, teaching, and writing about podcasting....I actually get behind the mic and do some podcasting of my own, every now and again. How about that, right? 👀

Back in November, I took on the challenge of releasing a brand new podcast episode every single day. Spoiler alert: I was not successful in the challenge. Whomp, whomp. 

But, after putting down the mic for almost 1.5 years, the content I was able to produce from taking part in the challenge was extremely cathartic. Podcasting fills a spot in my soul that is somewhat empty when I am not behind the mic. 

During the series, I answered questions relating to my personal and professional life. And of course, many of the questions that were submitted to me were podcast-related. Today I want to share an episode where I answered these questions:

"Is there a best time to evolve your podcast to include guest interviews?"

"How do I ensure a quality recording for guest interviews? Are there platforms you'd recommend? For example, I use Zoom for client sessions but I'm not sure how the quality would be for a podcast."

If you've been wondering the same thing, first, I see you! Second, I have some answers. 
In the episode, you'll hear me:

• Share the pros and cons of having guests on your podcast

• Introduce the double-ender (this always sounds risque to me, but it's not, honest) for best audio quality

• Offer best practices for conducting remote podcast interviews
