PODCAST TIP
Having a guest on your podcast can add value, but it’s not always necessary. Here’s when to consider a guest:
Expertise: If your topic requires specialized knowledge, a guest can provide credibility and depth.
Variety: Guests bring fresh perspectives and keep your content dynamic.
Networking: Collaborating with guests can expand your audience and build connections.
However, if your show thrives on solo storytelling or personal insights, you may not need guests. The key is to align your content with your podcast’s goals and audience preferences.
