Remind Guests To Stay on After the Interview Ends

Before pressing record, be sure to remind guests to stay on after the interview because some guests will literally disconnect immediately after you thank them on the air for being on the show.

The main reason is to allow a bit of time for their Squadcast/Zencastr recording to finish uploading. If you’re not using one of these types of services that records each participant locally while progressively uploading their local recording in the background, then it really doesn’t matter if they disconnect immediately.

In addition to verifying that you have their recording, it’s good to briefly chat with guests after the recording is over because you can personally thank them again off-air, remind them what date the episode will publish, ask them to send you any assets that you need for the shownotes, and more.

Have you ever had someone disconnect immediately and therefor you lost the last bit of their recording?
