Podcast interview prep

Audio is a different sport. Long-form, no edits, no visual to fall back on. The prep is structural not tactical.

Podcast prep is different. You have longer, you cannot lean on slides or visuals, the host wants story not soundbite. The prep work is structural: pick the two or three stories you want to tell, decide how each lands, and rehearse the bridge between them. The host does the work of getting you talking. Your job is to know what you want to be talking about.
