Things to remember...
We suggest that potential guests listen to the podcast they want to be on before applying. Take the time to listen to at least two or three of the latest episodes. This helps you get familiar with the podcast's style, tone, and the host's way of doing things. Pay attention to the types of questions asked and how long the interviews usually last. This will give you a better idea of what to expect when you're a guest on the show.
