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.
Section 1
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
Section 2
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
