Show Notes
Should I go long or stay short? Long-form interviewing or short-form? Should I record long and edit short? What should the final duration of my podcast/video/media be?
In this episode, I talk interview and media length. I argue that, essentially, there's no universally right answer to these questions but that, instead, you should base your length off of the needs and value it creates for your audience. You should ask the questions:
Who is my audience?
What types of information or value am I providing them?
What is the best length and format for me to be able to deliver it to them?
And from this, you'll know what length your media should be.
As a bonus, I also talk a little bit about interviewing long and cutting short, so give it a listen!
More from The Art Of The Interview
Like a photograph, the quality of the frame will make an interview better or worse. In this week's episode, I talk about the many ways I frame interviews before, during, and after the interview is complete, and how that makes for a better interview.
Ever gone on a date with someone who only talks about themselves? Me neither. But that would be obnoxious, on a date or while being interviewed.
Your mindset will influence how your interview. In this week's episode, I talk about three essential mindsets to practice to get better interviews.
Everyone knows the experience of sitting across from someone who you disagree with and feel animosity towards. In this week's episode, I talk about five steps to help you step out of antipathy and into empathy so you can have better interviews and conversations with people who you just don't see eye to eye.
The Art of the Interview is back! Starting in February 2024, I'll be hosting a weekly episode and releasing it every Tuesday.
