Are you making your podcast guests do your work for you? Too many hosts fall into bad habits that frustrate guests and make their shows look unprofessional. Here are three common mistakes to avoid — and what to do instead.
If you want to create a better guest experience and produce content your audience actually enjoys, this will help you cut the clutter and focus on what matters.
Top Takeaways
- Never auto-subscribe guests to your mailing list — it’s often illegal and always disrespectful.
- Don’t make guests write their own interview questions — that’s your job as the host.
- Stop requiring guests to share the episode — your job is to make the content worth sharing.
- Your responsibility as a host is to serve your audience — not to use guests as a growth engine.
