Podcast Tip Of The Day
The ideal number of guests depends entirely on your format and goals. One guest allows for deep, intimate conversation and clear storytelling. Two guests can create dynamic chemistry and engaging debate, but requires strong hosting to manage the flow. Avoid three or more guests unless it's a structured panel or debate show, as it can become chaotic and dilute individual contributions. For interview-style podcasts, sticking to one guest per episode is often the most effective way to deliver a compelling, focused conversation that your audience can easily follow.
A Final Note
“Rapport isn't just a nice-to-have—it's the invisible bridge that lets authentic conversation flow between you, your guest, and your audience.”
