SHOW UP READY FOR YOUR NEXT PODCAST INTERVIEW
STEAL MY PODCAST PRODUCER TIPS TO FEEL PREPARED FOR YOUR NEXT INTERVIEW.
After producing 1,000+ podcast episodes, I'm sharing what I've seen make great podcast guests stand out.
YOUR PODCAST INTERVIEW IS BOOKED. NOW WHAT?
You wanted the opportunity to get in front of someone else's audience and talk about your business, expertise, experience or story.
Then someone actually said YES.
Now the interview is on your calendar and suddenly you're wondering...
What do I need to have ready?
Is my setup good enough?
What if I get nervous?
What if I ramble?
How do I make sure this actually goes well?
After 1,000+ podcast episodes, here's what I want you to know:
You don't need to become a professional podcaster to be a great podcast guest.
You just need to know what to do before the interview, how to have a great conversation once the host hits record + the little things that make someone great to interview.
That's exactly what I'm going to show you.
THAT'S ME, I'M IN!
IN THIS GUIDE, YOU'LL HAVE:
-
SHOW UP WITHOUT THE TECH PANICÂ Â Â Â Â Know your internet, microphone, camera + recording space are ready before interview day so you're not troubleshooting while the host waits.
- KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN THE NERVES HIT
Understand what I've seen happen with nervous guests over and over again + how to settle into the conversation once the interview starts. - LEARN WHAT MOST GUEST GET WRONG
Learn my biggest tip after 1,000+ episodes so you can share what you know without turning one question into a 20-minute answer. - MAKE A GREAT IMPRESSION ON YOUR HOST
Know the little things that make someone easy to interview so you can leave the conversation feeling good about how you showed up.
I'VE DONE 1,000+ EPISODES. THESE ARE THE THINGS I WISH MORE GUESTS KNEW.
This isn't a collection of public-speaking tips I found online.
These are things I've actually noticed from the other side of the microphone.
I know what it's like when a guest's internet keeps freezing and we have to stop the conversation.
I know what it's like when someone is so nervous they lose their train of thought.
I know what it's like when someone talks for so long that I have three follow-up questions in my head and can't find a place to ask one.
I know what it's like when a guest has clearly listened to the show beforehand and knows something about me.
And I know what it's like to finish an interview and think:
"I want that person back."
That's the perspective behind this guide. I'm not teaching you how someone thinks a podcast guest should behave.
I'm teaching you what I've seen after 1,000+ episodes.

I couldn’t have done it without your guidance because I was lost. Absolutely lost. You showed me how to set everything up, the easy way to do it, and even how to use AI to edit. It’s those little things I never would have known if I hadn’t been learning from someone who’s been podcasting for a long time.

Your Pod Savvy Guide and full-on PodNerd
I've produced and been part of 1,000+ podcast episodes across 25+ podcast series.
I've spent years behind the scenes working with hosts, preparing interviews, recording conversations, interviewing guests + editing the finished episodes.
And after all those conversations, there are certain things I find myself wishing I could tell guests before we hit record.
That's why I created this guide.Â
Think of this as me pulling you aside before your interview and saying:
"Okay, here's what I want you to know."
Frequently Asked Questions
That's exactly who this can help. You'll know what to check before your interview + what to remember once the conversation starts.
Not necessarily. I'll show you simple options for your phone or computer so you can decide what makes sense for you.
You'll still benefit from the producer-side tips. Some of the things I wish experienced guests knew, especially Make Your Point + Pause, have nothing to do with being new.
No. You can get ready while you're pursuing podcast appearances. But if there's already an interview on your calendar, this is exactly when I'd go through PITCH TIPS.
READY FOR YOUR NEXT INTERVIEW?
You already have something worth talking about. Now let's make sure you're ready when someone hands you the mic.
