Detailed Show Notes:

Let’s Dive into “How To: Selecting Show/Guest Topics and What to Look for in a Co-Host”

Selecting Show Discussion Topics as a Show Host:
- Think about what is valuable or entertaining to your audience (based on your genre)
- Research via Google (Keyword), Google Alerts sent via Email (Google.com/Alerts)
- Pull from your personal experience, like I am here.
- Evergreen vs. Current events based content?
- Look at important keywords that your genre followers are searching for - select those

Selecting Guest Discussion Topics:
- Focus on 3-4 major discussion areas
- Focus on guest background, experiences and do your research on your guest
- Discover unique aspects and history around your guests. Listen to prior interviews
- Write up interview outline with your ideas around specific directions/questions
- It is ok to have a real conversation and not just asking questions, get personal

What to Look for in a Co-Host on your Audio Show:
- Speaking Quality and Energy - always best to have radio, podcasting experience
- Listen to other interviews on TV, Radio and Podcasts they have done in the past
- Do a skype call with your potential co-host, listen to how they sound, quality of microphone
- Work to create a regular (day & time) recording schedule that you both can keep - http://Assistant.to
- Build trust and friendship with them as you will be spending lots of time speaking
- Create fun chemistry between each other… so important for your audience
