About this listen
Ever finished an interview and thought… "Well, that was fine."
Not bad. Not great. Just… forgettable.
In this episode, I'm breaking down why most podcast interviews stay surface-level—and how to fix it. Because the difference between a "good" interview and a powerful one isn't your guest… It's how you lead the conversation.
We're talking about how to move beyond rehearsed answers, ask better follow-up questions, and create moments that connect. I'll walk you through a simple prep framework, how to listen with intention, and what to do in real time when your guest gives you something worth digging into.
If you want interviews your audience actually remembers (and shares), this episode will change how you show up behind the mic.
XO,
Tammy
