In this episode Kevin talks through the key points of creating wining interviews within your podcast episodes.

Key Points

Always edit you interview, change it, make it flow – never put it out as it was recorded – in the same order and with only a few tweaks.

Remove clutter – get rid of the ‘hello’s and how are you’s’, remove repeated content, shorten questions and drop dull answers.

Think listener and not interviewee – always create an interview that provides a reason for your listener to keep listening – take them on a journey.

Edit right away and use your interview cue sheet to help you along the way.

Learn how to cope with breaths, crutch words and edit them out in the right way.

Kevin provides three options for presenting your interview to your podcast listener.  The ‘As-Live, ‘Narrated’ and “Double Header’ interview techniques.
