You're listening to Podcasting Made Simple.

That is a side of a well-paired host, a confident host, conducting an interview.

Hello, I'm Rich LaMonica, and thank you for joining me today.

And thank you for being part of this craft of podcast.

Whether you're just getting starting in podcasting,

or your few dozen episodes deep, one skill will separate you from the crowd.

Your ability to conduct powerful, engaging interviews.

It's not the guest lists.
