What format of podcast is best for you and your content? Join Ash and Kane as they compare podcast formats and discuss when you should utilise each. They give the pros and cons of solo episodes, interviews and having a co-host. They also talk about fiction and non-fiction podcasts and what this means for your USP as a podcaster.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- You don’t have to stick to one format, you can change it according to what suits your content and your podcasting journey.
- Co-hosting has its challenges, particularly around turn-taking.
- A positive of doing a solo show is that you can record whenever is best for you.
- It’s more difficult to bring humour into solo shows.
- Co-hosting can make it easier to generate a discussion.
- Having a co-host also allows you to split the workload in terms of researching guests and more.
- Interviews avoid listeners getting bored with long conversations but they are more difficult to organise, particularly virtually.
BEST MOMENTS
“If it’s virtual you’re at the mercy of the internet connection and their schedule”
“In person is always better when it comes to interviews”
“If you’re doing it properly you’re doing it as a business”
