And luckily, I never encountered a guest who froze solidly because the guest could not stand the idea of being recorded (mainly because the thought of making mistakes was too great).<\/p>\n<p>In fact, you should be aware of some advice given in an evergreen podcast by\u00a0<strong>Max Flight<\/strong>\u00a0that deals with another side of a podcast guest \u2014 that of\u00a0<em><strong>\u201cBeing Interviewed.\u201d<\/strong><\/em> It describes the other aspects of being an interviewee that you should also consider:<\/p>\n<p>As a side note, you yourself may be called upon to be the GUEST and <strong>BE INTERVIEWED<\/strong>. And we have a past audio episode from this series that is delivered by<em><strong> Max Flight<\/strong><\/em> on the issues and the preparation of being interviewed:<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1675-2\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/fgcastgain\/424-_Being_interviewed_on_podcasts-_f.mp3?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/fgcastgain\/424-_Being_interviewed_on_podcasts-_f.mp3\">https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/fgcastgain\/424-_Being_interviewed_on_podcasts-_f.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>I also had a workflow where I did speak to the guest ahead of time, reviewed the outline and questions that I proposed to deal with him during the interview, as well as run through a few ideas to make the guest feel comfortable. And it has not failed me yet.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, we hope that you can create a good workflow for your podcast interviews that will make your guest comfortable and the result can be to have a good interview, well-paced and informative, that will deliver the most important thing to your audience &#8211;VALUE of the subject matter with a good cadence and a comfortable audio that will make your audience appreciate your show.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your attention.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright (c) 2021, Matrix Solutions Corporation and buzzsprout.com.
