Podcast Interview Preparation Framework

Podcast Interview Preparation Framework

The interview packet should contain the reader promise, guest identity and current role, canonical biography sources, topic and claim research, conflicts or sensitive areas, recording and publication expectations, consent state, pronunciation, accessibility needs, opening, question arcs, optional follow-ups, fact-check items, media permissions, emergency contacts, recovery plan, and post-recording actions.

Preparation creates informed flexibility. It should not script the guest, pressure disclosure, or treat a public profile as consent to contact, record, edit, publish, or repurpose.
