Michael Kennedy of Talk Python and Python Bytes fame joins Brian to talk about being a great guest and what to expect.
Even if you have never wanted to be on a podcast, you might learn some great tips. A few of the things we talk about will be helpful for other endeavors, like public speaking, guest blog posts, look for unsolicited job opportunities.
Some people have never been on a podcast before, and are possibly freaked out about some of the unknowns of being on a podcast. That's why we did this episode.
Michael and I discuss a bunch of the niggly details so that you can be relaxed and know what to expect.
Topics include:
If you want to be on a podcast
How to stand out and be someone a podcast would want to have on a show.
How to suggest yourself as a guest and the topic you want to discuss.
Picking a topic for a podcast
What to do before the show to prepare
Helping the host out with some information
Some hardware (not much)
Some software (all free)
Sending info like bio, headshot, links, etc.
What to expect the host or show to do before the recording.
Where to record
Sketching out some show topics with the host, maybe on a shared document.
What to expect and do
Right before the show
During the conversation
After the recording
When it goes live (help promote it)
Special Guest: Michael Kennedy.
