Over two seasons of my podcast, I've hosted a dozen interview shows, generating hundreds of audio downloads and YouTube views.

I've developed five procedures to prepare for each show I use repeatedly.

I'm sharing them here in case they work for you.

Procedure 1:

Build a question bank you can add to and reference as a resource.

How do I find questions?

🤖 Use AI software such as WriteSonic

❓ Consult blogs with question ideas, like that of @RiversidedotFM

📓 Make a note, every time you hear a good question on a podcast

Procedure 2:

Research each guest to tailor questions specific to them

Sources include:

🗨️ Asking the guest for a bio

🔍 Doing a basic Google search

📱 Checking out their posts on social media

The more you know of each guest, the better you can guide the conversation.

Procedure 3:

Develop a standard email template with your proposed questions and release terms

You'll write this email many times, so make it easy on yourself.

Be sure to have and use release terms to ensure you and the guest get and stay on the same page.

Procedure 4:

Organize the questions logically, just as you would with a script.

Start with the central "promise" of the discussion (i.e., put the audience first), then go broader and deeper from there.

End by offering the guest a chance to promote their stuff.

Procedure 5:

Do your own separate intro and conclusion for each show.

The intro is an excellent opportunity to set the context for the discussion and establish the credibility of your guest,

The conclusion allows you to have your own "call to action," plus promote your guest.
