How to be a Good Podcast Host

Check your equipment: Check you are recording, that you have backups etc. Wearing headphones is a great way to ensure everything sounds good.

If you’re doing an interview, let your guest talk!

When you ask a question, leave a pause, people will fill the silence and this is usually where your best content comes from. It also stops you from accidentally interrupting them.

‘Mhms’ and constantly saying you agree sounds awful on audio. Instead, smile and nod to keep the conversation flowing.

Share the content you create with your guest with them to utilise and use themselves.

When you interview someone, ensure you add them to your network and build a relationship with them.
