Booking the right guest can make or break your podcast episode. In this episode, we're diving into the red flags every podcaster should watch for when inviting guests onto their show. From no-shows to hard-sellers, knowing how to spot the warning signs can save you from awkward interviews and protect the trust you've built with your audience. Whether you're just starting your podcasting journey or a seasoned host, this episode will give you actionable tips to ensure every guest is a perfect fit for your show.

We'll start by discussing why guest selection is so important—not just for your content but for your credibility as a host. Then, we'll break down the top red flags, including guests who dodge pre-interviews, demand final edit control, or steer every question back to their own agenda. These aren't just minor annoyances; they can derail your content and frustrate your listeners. Don't worry; we'll also share clear strategies for vetting and selecting the right guests to keep your episodes valuable and engaging.

You'll walk away with practical tips, such as creating a pre-interview process, setting clear expectations, and researching potential guests to ensure they align with your audience's needs. We'll also share lessons learned from our guest missteps (because we've all been there) and how to gracefully say "no" when a guest isn't the right fit.
