“Awkward interviews happen to everyone at just about every level of podcasting, whether you’ve been doing it for years or are just starting out.” This Wednesday, Larell Scardelli dives into the discomfort with six experienced podcasters. From embarrassing equipment noises to total flops, there’s always a lesson.
After three and a half years and over 180 interviews, Dyking Out co-host Carolyn Bergier suggests leaning into the awkwardness: “One great lesson from being a stand-up comedian is that when you feel like you're bombing, calling it out can break the tension, let you take a breath, and then move past the moment.”
What should be edited out? Is it worth it to scrap an entire interview? Scardelli answers these questions and many more. “Thanks to our featured hosts, you’ll be armed with some strategies and confidence to navigate the bumps, as well as the knowledge that sometimes, interviews don’t make it. And that’s okay.”
Eight podcast titles — six series and two episodes — have been nominated for 2021 Peabody Awards. The Board of Jurors announced 60 total nominees representing “the most compelling and empowering stories released in broadcasting and streaming media” in 2020. Winners will be named during a virtual ceremony next month.
