The difference between a podcast ‘interview’ and a media interview

Podcast journalism is a recent phenomenon. But journalistically speaking, the podcast ‘interview’ is quite different from the traditional ‘media’ interview as we know and practise it. But in a podcast series where each episode is on a completely different topic, the interview calls for three different levels of research: one, to familiarise yourself with the subject along with the latest developments so as to come up with engaging questions; two, search for the most appropriate expert; and three, to familiarise yourself with the guest’s work and special interests. Finally, podcast interviews have a whole new tech dimension to them — using the right microphone, mixing separate audio tracks, etc. Overall, though the podcast is more demanding, it is also in some ways less stressful and uniquely rewarding insofar as it’s a collaborative exercise that orchestrates a convivial, intimate space between three curious minds — the host, the guest and the listener.
