Saving a bad podcast interview - part 1

We've all heard podcast or radio interviews that have hit the buffers. And it's excrutiating!

The monosyllabic answers to questions. The desperate rephrasing of questions by the interviewer. The sense that everything is imploding.  You literally live the participants' panic with them.

Fortunately, a pre-recorded podcast interview is nothing like as traumatic as a live radio interview and on this episode Serena gives plenty of tips for what to do during the interview if your guest  seizes up or if they appear offended.

In part 2 next week, we'll look at how to rescue an awful interview in the editing process.

About me
Hello, I'm Serena Gay, a BBC-trained journalist and a former international satellite TV presenter.

I have many years of news and audio production experience which I now use to great effect as CEO of a podcast making company called "Made4U Podcasts".

I've  also helped run family businesses in the UK and Germany in the tourism and wine education fields.

So I understand the pressures on businesspeople to perform, promote and reach new and profitable streams of clients.

That's why these podcasts are short, pithy and full of information - not blather!
