Takeaways:

• Building a relationship with your podcast guests before the interview can lead to better promotion later.
• Make it easy for guests to share their episodes by providing direct links and images.
• As a host, please don't rely solely on guests to promote their episodes; it's not guaranteed.
• Offering your guests clear and simple promotional tools can encourage them to share your interview.
• Please tell your guests when their episodes will be released to help them prepare to share.
• As a guest, promise to promote the episode to increase your chances of being invited back.
• If you want them to share, the interview should be different than previous interviews.
