Practical tips:

Listening efficiently

• Shared Notes System: One attendee shared that she and a friend take notes collaboratively on favorite episodes. They highlight actionable tips and flag episodes the other should prioritize.

Being a great podcast guest

• Focus on stories: Share personal and professional anecdotes instead of presenting a long, step-by-step guide of your ideas.
• Engage with hosts: Want to connect with a great host? Reach out on LinkedIn, but don’t pitch yourself outright – engage authentically and let your profile speak for itself.
• Prepare soundbites: Keep your answers concise and impactful. Long-winded responses can turn off listeners.

Finding opportunities

• Use platforms like Matchmaker.fm, PodMatch and Source Bottle to connect with podcasters.
• Add “Podcast Guest” to your LinkedIn header to attract hosts.

Streamline your workflow

• RecurPost: Automate podcast episode distribution through RSS feeds.
• Asana: Use project management tools for episode planning and scheduling.

• Connect you with VIPs. Interviewing guests can open doors to more collaboration opportunities.
• Build thought leadership. Hosting or guesting boosts visibility and credibility.
