The interview is the most common format in research podcasting. It’s versatile, relatively straightforward to produce, and well suited to the kinds of conversations researchers have every day with colleagues, practitioners, policymakers and community members. But producing a good interview for a podcast is often different from conducting a research interview or having an expert conversation. It requires preparation, careful listening, and an understanding of who you are talking to and why.
These principles apply equally to audio and video podcast interviews. Where the two formats diverge — particularly around on-camera presence, background and lighting — specific guidance is included in the relevant sections below.
This section covers the key elements of podcast interviewing for researchers and academics producing their own shows.
