If the interview is in-person, you’ll probably sit across the table from someone. There are several ways to record a conversation in-person, like at the host’s recording space, at your home, or at a neutral location.
No matter where you record, your goals are to sound good, have a conversation, and tell the audience what they need to hear (deliver value). These are the same three goals from my episode about remote pod-guesting best practices. The “how” is just a little different in-person. If you’ve been invited to be an in-person podcast guest, this episode might help you understand what to expect so you have have a good experience.
In the final few minutes of this episode, I talk about being a generous guest. For example, provide requested information on-time, help promote the episode, engage with social media posts, and say, “Thank You.”
