Following on from episode 80, in today's episode of The Best Guest we are answering your questions about being a podcast guest. If you've ever wondered about any of the following then listen in:

How do I promote my appearance on a podcast to my followers or audience?
Can I use the podcast recording for my own marketing or content purposes?
What equipment do I need to ensure a high-quality audio recording?
Will I be able to see the questions/topics beforehand or will they be a surprise?
What should I do if I have technical difficulties during the recording?

Key Takeaways

There are several ways to promote your appearance on a podcast, including sharing posts about the episode on your social media platforms, letting your newsletter subscribers know about the episode, creating a podcast page on your website with links to the shows, and asking the host for graphics, quote graphics, audiograms, and video clips that you can schedule to go out across your platforms periodically.
The use of the podcast recording for your own marketing or content purposes will depend on the specific podcast and the terms under which it was recorded. The host or podcast owner owns the copyright. So ask permission before using the recording.
It's essential to have good equipment before starting podcast interviews, as some hosts may ask for confirmation about the equipment before booking you on their show. At a minimum, you need headphones or earbuds, an external microphone, and ideally a webcam. You can get reasonably priced podcasting bundles that include all of these, and it's important to wear headphones for good sound quality.
It's crucial to get an external microphone rather than relying on the inbuilt microphone in your computer, as it won't be good enough. There are lots of choices, such as condenser microphones and dynamic microphones, but it depends on your environment and the noise around you. USB microphones are simple to use, but if you're setting up a home studio, an XLR microphone may give you more flexibility.
Some accessories you might want to consider include an arm and a shock mount for your microphone, as well as pop filters and mic covers to reduce plosive sounds. It's also worth investing in a webcam, as many podcasts have a video element, and good lighting can make you look and feel much better on camera. A ring light is a good option for this, but you don't have to spend a fortune.
Before recording your podcast, make sure to test all your equipment and do a sound check. This will help you avoid any technical difficulties during recording and ensure that you have a high-quality recording.
Technical difficulties will happen from time to time and most people understand this. Just communicate with the host as soon as possible to rearrange the interview.
