Podcast Etiquette: Mention Your Interviewee’s Name

I remember listening to one of my client’s podcasts. My client was the host and she was interviewing another woman.

For the life of me, I couldn’t tell the difference between their voices. When my client asked the question, yes, I could tell them apart. However, there were points where there was banter between the 2 women and I could no longer tell the voices apart.

Here’s a tip – When interviewing someone of the same gender, say that person’s firstname throughout the interview. I don’t mean that you say the person’s name everytime you take a breath, but get into the habit of repeating that person’s name ever so often.

Believe me, it will help you later on when you’re editing the raw recording and it will help your listeners follow along easier.
