So you’ve decided to put yourself out there and start that podcast, but want to brush up on how to make a great interview? You’re in the right place! In this episode Louise and Andy teach you some of the skills you need to get the most out of your interview.

In this episode of Elevating Experts, Andy and Louise discuss how to get the most out of your interview as the interviewer, but here are some of our top tips:

  • Actively listen to what your talent is saying
  • Be prepared respond to conversation points
  • Make sure your response matches the tone

Here are some extra resources linked to today’s episode:

Some interviewers Andy and Louise admire:

Andrew Denton:

Why: because you can see that he is listening to the person he is interviewing. You can’t build rapport like that and gain somebody’s trust without taking an interest in what they’re saying.

Jana Wendt:

Why: Because she keeps control of the conversation while acknowledging new pieces of information offered by her interview subject. She doesn’t move on to the next topic until she is satisfied that she has fully explored the question at hand.

Howard Stern:

Why: He asks questions not a lot of other people ask and he is great at building rapport and getting people to open up things they don’t want to talk about.

Jerry Seinfeld:

Why: He keeps it conversational!

Steven Colbert:

Why: He’s funny, but also injects the right amount of his personal story and asks the hard questions when he’s built trust
