Episode 502 - Should I have a One Sheet for My Podcast as the Host - The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips
What is a Podcast One-Sheet?
Podcast one-sheets tell a podcast host why they should choose you as a guest and which topics you can eloquently speak about. You should view it as your podcast resume!
Unsurprisingly, a one-sheet is one piece of paper filled with brief information that helps steer conversations during a podcast. While these sheets will cover quite a bit of information, one-sheets shouldn’t seem crowded. The layout of compelling one-sheets flows seamlessly; podcast hosts and guests should have the ability to skim the sheet to find the subtopic they’re looking for. Here are the main components of a podcast one-sheet:
- Headshot
- Bio
- Suggested interview topics
- Suggested questions
- Social media/contact information
- Appearances on other podcasts (if applicable)
Why Are One-Sheets Important?
If you’re a podcast host, would you want to invite a guest onto your show without knowing about them? You would be rolling the dice. On the flip side, podcast guests might not appreciate recording a podcast if the host had little to no information about them. It might not work well if a real estate agent randomly appears on a podcast without the host having any background information.
One-sheets have become an industry norm because they help keep the podcast space organized and help podcast hosts choose the right guests to bring onto their show.
Simply put: podcast hosts need one-sheets to find the right people to contribute to their show’s value. If you’re interested in being a guest on a podcast, you should use a one-sheet to market yourself.
How Do You Design a One-Sheet?
There are six essential components in a one-sheet:
- The headshot section
- The bio section
- The suggested questions section
- The suggested topic question
- The podcast appearances section
