So often podcasters conduct a podcast interview, publish it, and never think about it again.

But what if you could maximise your podcast interview and get multiple episodes out of the same interview? How awesome would that be? It's at least double the content for you, and at least double the exposure for your podcast guest!

In this episode, I'll explain how when I interviewed Adam from Podcasting Business School the podcasting tips that he gave split into 4 key topics. So, I took these topics and broke the 1 interview down into 4 different podcast episodes.

But, for other guest interviews, I didn't break these into multiple episodes. I'll discuss why and give you tips as to when you might want to break interviews into multiple episodes and when you might want to keep the interview as a whole.

We will also go over how you can maximise your time with a podcast guest and intentionally record multiple episodes in one podcast interview without your audience ever knowing that you recorded the episodes in one go!

Explain how I interviewed Adam, but I thought that we covered 4 key topics and bearing in mind my episodes are normally around 10-15 minutes, I wanted to break the interview down to respect those timings and also to ensure that my audience was getting exactly what I was promising from the episode titles and notes.

We will also talk about the importance of creativity and flexibility in podcasting, and how experimenting with episode formats and lengths can help you to maximize your podcast guest contributions and audience retention!

Tune in for all the podcasting tips for maximising your podcast interviews!
