Do you want to be a great podcast guest and get invited back?

Being a great podcast guest is serving the host and their audience by helping them understand your unique topic.

There are five key ways to provide the show with the best content.

First, you're going to research the podcast. If you are pitching your idea to a podcast, you want to

make sure you're pitching to a podcast that actually does interviews. If it's a solo podcast and they don't do interviews,

don't take your idea to them, take it to a podcast that does interviews. And then you're

going to want to research, who are they? What are they looking for? What kind of topics do they

talk about on their podcast? you're also going to really

want to look at who their audience is. Who are the people that they're reaching in their podcast?

Then I want to challenge you to go and listen to at least a couple of episodes. What you want to do

is to listen to the episode to see if their content is something that

you're going to be able to speak into. If what they're talking about to their audience,

if your topic helps that audience, you're also going to want to listen for the flow. What is the flow of the podcast?

How do they go from one topic to another? Do they do multiple interviews in one podcast? Listen to the

flow, see what they're about, and how they're reaching their audience. And then when you're invited

on the show, you're going to want to

make sure that you understand how long that interview is going to be. If you go back and listen

to episodes, time. How long does it take for an interview? Not the entire show from beginning

to end, but how long do you have for an interview? Because you want to serve this podcast host

and their audience the best you can by understanding everything you can about that podcast.

Number two, remember, the podcast is about the hosts or hosts and their audience.
