What it takes to book great guests
Dan Lizette of The Podcast Digest joins the conversation about podcast culture.
Mark shares concerns about a previous recommendation, and reveals his thoughts on Brendan’s latest suggestion, which Dan chimes in about after his recent interview with Manoush Zomorodi and Jen Poyant.
Brendan suggests Mark try a podcast he’s tried before… The Incomparable Game Show. But maybe he’ll like it more this time. Recommended episodes:
Text adventure:
- 21: Light Lamp
- 33: Exits Are Unknown
- 55: There Is a Sign Here
- 82: It’s Meatloaf Day!
Family Feud style:
- 87: You Shall Not Pass (Answers based on Incomparable listeners, including me! Part one.)
- 88: Pantheon of Muppets (Part two!)
Dan shares a recommendation as well: Sleepover by CBC.
Podcast discovery is the big topic of the day, of every day really, if you think about it, and the group discusses IsItGood, a new startup with initial funding to give algorithmic recommendations, and Podchaser just finished their seed funding round. More new, well-rated podcasts are coming to your ears soon.
Dan shares his story about booking great guests on podcasts, and provides some helpful tips for aspiring podcasters.
