Let's chat about the biggest red flag when it comes to podcast guests: the obsession with audience size. Seriously, if the first thing a potential guest wants to know is how many downloads your show gets, it’s a major warning sign. It’s like they’re only interested in what they can milk out of your audience, rather than the value they can bring. Today I look at why that’s a total turn-off and how the best guests focus on delivering value instead of just self-promotion. We also share some hilarious stories about awkward guest interactions, and trust me, you’ll be cringing and laughing at the same time. It’s a wild ride through the absurdity of podcasting dynamics that’ll have you shaking your head in disbelief.Takeaways: Bad podcast guests often only care about their own promotion and not yours. When looking for podcast guests, focus on whether they can add value to your audience. The first question from a guest shouldn't be about your audience size, it's a huge red flag. A good guest will want to know about your audience, not just how big it is. Building relationships after interviews is key; don’t let it be a one-off thing. Grow your influence through solo shows and your network through interviews, that’s the game.
