Avoid Constantly Saying “Mm-Hmm” or “Uh-Huh”

When you’re a participant on a podcast avoid constantly saying “Mm-hmm” or “Uh-huh” while another participant is talking.

Uttering these sounds spontaneously in moments when it’s a genuine expression of your understanding or epiphany is totally natural, but constantly uttering those sounds every ten seconds can be distracting and/or annoying to the listeners.

In fact, this is usually just another verbal crutch that some people are in the habit of using. To overcome this, challenge yourself: Be silent and listen intently.
