Interviewing with purpose
Mini Training
Attention: Podcasters who want to make a difference with their message
Do you have interviews that you’re just too embarrassed to publish because the conversation was awkward, you struggled to build rapport with the guest, and you felt like you were pulling teeth?
You’re not alone.
Hi, I’m Annemarie Cross – The Podcasting Queen. Award-winning Podcast Host and Producer.
I remember with one of the guests on my very first podcast back in 2008, my co-host asked a question and 20 minutes later we still couldn’t get a word in edgeways.
Thank goodness over the last 10 plus years and interviewing well over 1,000 guests, hosting round tables, panel interviews, virtually and in-person – I’ve learned lots of tips and techniques that have enabled me to interview and produce a stellar show – even when interviewing the most difficult of guests.
And I’ve put some of those tips and techniques in this Interviewing With Purpose Minitraining.
