Podcast Prep: Show Up Like A Pro
Whether you're guesting or hosting, AI helps you prep questions, outlines, and clips so the episode actually lands.
Builders · AI for Business · ~6 min read
Podcasts and YouTube interviews are still one of the highest-trust formats on the internet. They're also unforgiving — bad prep is obvious in the first three minutes. AI is incredibly useful for prep because most prep is research and writing, which AI is good at.
If you're the host
- Ask AI to summarize your guest's last 10 posts, podcasts, or videos
- Ask for 'what would be a non-obvious thing to ask them?'
- Draft 15 questions, pick the 5 best, leave room for follow-ups
- Write a one-line intro and one-line outro before you hit record
If you're the guest
- Ask AI for 5 stories from your life that fit the show's vibe
- Practice 30-second versions of your top 3 stories
- Prep 3 specific stats or examples (vague stories are forgettable)
- Have one clear thing you want listeners to do after — a CTA
