Looking to Boost Your Interview Game?

Interviews are an incredible way to add depth and diversity to your podcast, but they can also feel a bit daunting – especially since it’s one of the most popular podcast formats! That’s why in our latest blog post, we’re sharing our 11 Expert Tips for Great Podcast Interviews to help you navigate your conversations like a pro. (You can find that 🔗 link below!)

But besides our expert tips, we also have some key strategies to help you boost your podcast interview confidence!

(Has this song been in my head all day? Yes. But it IS a great confidence booster!)

Because when you combine confidence with all those expert tips, you’ll truly be able to set your interview podcast apart from the rest!

1. Prepare! ✍️

Not only does thorough preparation help you craft stellar questions (the basis of a great interview!) but preparation is also the foundation of confidence! When you really know your guest and you know your key talking points, you can go into the conversation with a high level of ease.

2. Adopt a ‘Curiosity Mindset’ 🤔

If you tend to get nervous for your interviews, we highly recommend adopting a curiosity mindset to boost your confidence. You simply shift your focus from performing perfectly to genuinely learning from your guest. This mindset not only reduces pressure but also helps you stay present and ask unique follow-up questions.

3. Embrace Silence 🤫

The fear of awkward silences can be a real confidence killer. But silence is not necessarily a bad thing when it comes to podcast interviews! In fact, it’s often where the magic happens. Allowing brief pauses after a guest’s response can encourage them to expand on their thoughts, providing richer content for your listeners.

➡️ So take these confidence boosting strategies, 🧑‍🍳 mix them together with our expert tips, and you’ll have the ✨perfect recipe✨ for delivering great podcast interviews time and time again.
