In my early adventures in podcasting, I’ve learned something important: Guests need to be considered.
Guests are very important (obviously), but they don’t automatically know what you want from them. Already I have had guests who thought there would be videos of the chat posted on the internet (only audio btw), and who felt very uncomfortable with the whole idea of being recorded, right up to the point that I bullied them into a room to sit in front of a mic. I was oblivious to this. I thought they all wanted what I wanted and intrinsically knew my intentions – but why would they?
If you are going to interview people, you also need to work hard to line up a roster of interesting people. I have decided to start with a series of 4 interviews – one a week for a month. As a little teaser, let’s play have you ever.
Have you ever:
- Devoted your life to art and wildlife?
- Moved from Africa to Scandinavia?
- Built a cabin in the wilderness?
- Drawn cartoons for a living?
4 guests, 4 stories. Coming up on chimpwithcans.com
