Once you've set a time, send over a list of questions or topics to help them prepare. Add a package of marketing material they can use to promote your episode.

Giving your guests time to prepare their thoughts on questions and topics will impress your guest and add value to your listeners with thoughtful answers.

Use a scheduling tool that allows guests to book a time directly on your calendar. Impress your guests and avoid offence by personalising your scheduling links.

Pre-fill your guest's name and email address to make it easier to book a time with you.

Make the guest experience as seamless as possible so that they don't feel confused at any stage.

One way is to provide a "Guest Page" with essential details, such as contact and recording information.

Provide your guest with a link to your Google Drive or Dropbox so they can upload any audio recorded locally on their end.

Once you've scheduled the episode to publish, ensure to send your guest a note about which day they can expect it to go live. This will help to amplify it and to grow your audience.
