Settle in for some laughter, plenty of insights, and a peek behind the curtain at what it really takes to conduct a great interview. Need to interview someone for a podcast or to create some content? Here’s what we’ve learned that keeps the conversation interesting and in motion.

Welcome to another episode of the Heroic Council, part of the Shareable Podcast Network! In this episode, your host Parchelle is joined by Tim for an in-depth conversation about the art of interviewing. Both seasoned content creators and producers, Parchelle and Tim share their personal experiences and lessons learned from conducting interviews across various formats—from podcasts to video productions and beyond.

Tune in as they discuss the keys to making interviewees comfortable, the importance of curiosity and presence, and strategies to craft more natural, engaging conversations. They also explore the nuances of guiding a guest through nerves, the value of research and preparation, and practical tips for turning raw interviews into compelling stories during post-production. Along the way, you’ll hear plenty of personal anecdotes, advice for both new and experienced interviewers, and even recommendations for making your next interview more impactful—whether you’re on camera, behind the mic, or just looking to improve your everyday communication skills.
