<p>Anyone can create a podcast, but creating interviews that listeners remember takes a different set of skills. The morning show cast and crew sit down with podcasting veteran Dave Jackson to talk about what it really takes to create podcast conversations that feel natural, engaging, and worth sharing. From researching guests and asking stronger follow-up questions to building lasting relationships and using AI without losing the human touch, the discussion is full of practical lessons from years behind the microphone. Here&#39;s the thing, the best interviews aren&#39;t driven by a list of questions. They&#39;re built on curiosity, preparation, and a willingness to truly listen.</p><p><strong>Episode Highlights:</strong></p><p>[02:29] Guest Intro: Dave Jackson</p><p>[04:28] Pre-Interview Preparation</p><p>[08:54] Researching Guests More Deeply</p><p>[10:23] Avoiding Generic Interviews</p><p>[13:45] The Skills Behind Great Conversations</p><p>[19:53] Common Mid-Interview Mistakes</p><p>[21:32] How to Disagree with Guests Respectfully</p><p>[31:07] Pitching Guests the Smart Way</p><p>[33:46] What Great Interviewers Do Differently</p><p>[41:03] Post-Interview Follow-Through</p><p>[44:41] Using AI to Create Better Episodes</p><p>[48:44] Keep It Human</p><p><strong>Links &amp; Resources:</strong></p><p>Dave Jackson&#39;s links: </p><p>School of Podcasting: </p><p><a href="https://www.schoolofpodcasting.com/"><u>https://www.schoolofpodcasting.com/</u></a></p><p>Podcast consulting: </p><p><a href="https://www.podcastconsultant.com/"><u>https://www.podcastconsultant.com/</u></a></p><p>Book: Profit from Your Podcast</p><p><a href="https://a.co/d/0bjJUCxh"><u>https://a.co/d/0bjJUCxh</u></a></p><p>Feature Your Podcast on the Podcasting Morning Show:</p><p><a href="https://podcastingmorningshow.com/spotlight"><u>https://PodcastingMorningShow.com/spotlight</u></a></p><p>The Podcasting Morning Show:</p><p><a href="https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com"><u>⁠⁠www.podcastingmorningshow.com⁠⁠</u></a></p><p>Ways to Watch or Listen:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/joinus/"><u>https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/joinus/</u></a></p><p>Meet the PMS Cast and Crew:</p><p><a href="https://podcastingmorningshow.com/people"><u>⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningshow.com/people⁠⁠</u></a></p><p>Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:</p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting"><u>⁠⁠www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠⁠⁠</u></a></p><p>Book A Free Call With Marc:</p><p><a href="https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycall"><u>https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycall</u></a></p><p>Application To Submit Your Show For Evaluation:</p><p><a href="https://podcastingmorningshow.com/eval"><u>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningshow.com/eval⁠⁠</u></a></p><p>Join us every other Monday at 8 AM ET for the Obsession Worthy Podcasts:⁠⁠⁠</p><p><a href="http://podcastingmorningshow.com/owp/"><u>http://podcastingmorningshow.com/owp/⁠⁠</u></a></p><p>Join us LIVE every weekday morning at 8 am ET (US) on ⁠Clubhouse⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</p><p><a href="https://www.clubhouse.com/house/empowered-podcasting-e6nlrk0w%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0"><u>⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningshow.com/clubhouse⁠⁠</u></a></p><p>Powered by<a href="http://ironickmedia.com/"><u>⁠⁠⁠ ⁠iRonickMedia.com⁠⁠⁠</u></a>⁠ and<a href="http://contentcreatorsaccountant.com"><u>⁠ ⁠ContentCreatorsAccountant.com⁠⁠</u></a></p><p>Send in your mailbag questions:⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/contact"><u> https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/contact/⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠[email protected]⁠</u></a></p><p>Want to be a guest on The Podcasting Morning Show?
