Podcast Talent Coach

Make The Most Of Your Podcast Interview – Episode 138   I'm working on a podcast series where I interview high achievers. What's the "formula" for making an interview a good story? How long should it be? How do you keep the guest interesting ...and helping you tell the story ....without encumbering the interviewer? Doug Piper   The secret to a great interview is to be a great listener. Be curious, and ask great questions.   "Tell me about a time you thought it was all over.” "When did you realize this was the career for you?” "Describe an obstacle that stood in the way of your success.” "How did it all get started?” "What player made the greatest impact on your coaching career?”   When you listen back to your interviews, listen like a listener. Ask questions in your head that a curious listener would ask. Write those questions down. When you are conducting your interview, don't be so concerned about following the script or list of questions. Listen and ask natural follow-up questions.   How long should it be?
