The Undeniable Benefits of Solo Podcasting

Of the millions of podcasts currently in existence on planet earth (both active as well as no longer producing content), the vast majority of them were built with the popular format of hosts welcoming guests onto their show for impactful conversation.

This approach, of course, has its benefits:

• Guests help split the dialogue so the host doesn’t have to do all the talking
• Guests bring a new layer of insight and perspective to each episode
• Guests give you an opportunity to tap into a new audience (as long as they share the content once it’s live)

But often times, podcasters overlook some of the disadvantages of featuring guests on their show. Including, but not limited to:

• The guest will be the featured thought leader for each episode
• Finding guests and preparing for interviews can be time-consuming
• Guests may go silent after your recording and do nothing to help you promote once it’s live

My belief is this: since the majority of podcasts are built with a host-guest dynamic, new podcasters feel this is the best (maybe even the only) way to produce their soon-to-launch show.

And I get it. It’s a template that’s worked for years and it makes sense.

But what it really comes down to is your overall brand objectives.

Do you want to be the go-to thought leader that people in search of the transformation you know you can deliver turn to?

Do you want to use your podcast to build an unbreakable bond with your listeners, giving them an outlet to establish trust in you and your message?

Do you want more freedom and flexibility in your podcast production initiatives?

Then producing a solo podcast is the only way to fly!
