Why Podcast Guests Fail


Guest Management Made Easy

Flow Riders! We've all had that guest who called in from a noisy cafe or whose hotel WiFi died mid-interview.

Here's the thing – it doesn't have to be this way.


Why Most Podcasters Wing It

Most podcasters send a Zoom link five minutes before recording and hope for the best.

The result? Background noise kills highlight clips. Connection drops create awkward pauses. No legal releases mean episodes can get pulled later.


Our 3-Step Guest System

  1. Intake Form
    Podpage's guest intake form collects name, title, bio, and links to promote.
    Plus: Built-in legal release so episodes can't get pulled later.
  2. Booking Link
    Approve the guest → send booking link. No email chains.
  3. Mandatory Tech Check
    15-20 minutes before recording: test layout, connection, and audio. Non-negotiable. Even pros need this.

Why This Works

Your guest experience reflects your professionalism. They chose your show because of its quality – don't let poor guest management destroy that.

Remember: If they were on TV, there would be producers and sound checks. Your podcast deserves the same care.

Good guest management isn't about being controlling – it's about setting everyone up for success.
