  3. Consistency is half the battle
  4. Every episode doesn't have to be amazing
  5. Outsourcing technical tasks is critical
  6. Finding the right guests can't be automated
  7. Securing sponsorship isn't the only measure of success
  8. Podcasting offers many hidden benefits
  9. You have to be in it for the right reasons

Interviewing for Podcasters: Tips and Techniques

The learnings above are from a veteran podcaster. The tips in a recent Wavve blog are ideal if you're just starting out, or want to brush up on your interviewing skills.

Conducting engaging and insightful interviews is a crucial skill for podcasters. A well-conducted interview can provide valuable content, attract new listeners, and create memorable episodes. However, interviewing is an art that requires preparation, active listening, and the ability to steer conversations in meaningful directions. Wavve offers a comprehensive guide to interviewing for podcasters, with tips and techniques to help you get the most out of your interviews.


DESIGN OF THE WEEK

Analysis: This is another simple approach that works. Orange isn't always an easy color to work with, but because it's paired only with white it looks energetic and vibrant. The podcast logo is balanced and well-designed, which makes it perfect for use as a primary image.
