Episode 681 - Podcasters, Try Being Quiet When Your Guest Speaks - Podcasting and Interview Tips

Main Topic: Interview Etiquette – Giving Space to Your Guest

Avoid frequent interjections like “yes,” “right,” or “okay.” These can clutter your episode and create more editing work. Train yourself to limit affirmations and let your guest share their thoughts fully.

Advice for Podcasters:

Remaining quiet as the host isn’t about being disengaged—it helps with smoother editing and gives your guest room to shine.
Don’t feel pressured to add constant “uh-huhs” or personal insertions. Instead, listen actively, and add flavor only when necessary.
This skill not only makes your podcast sound better—it helps you be a better listener in your personal and work life.
After your guest finishes answering, move to your next question—no need to repeat what was just said.
Review past interviews with a critical ear. Spot areas where more silence could have improved the flow. You can always revisit and re-edit those episodes for future listeners.
