The Podcast Guest Ghosting Guide: How to Handle No-Shows & Keep Your Cool

It can feel so frustrating and disheartening when you invite an incredible guest on your show and they don’t show up. Instead of throwing in the towel on having guests on your podcast, let’s talk about strategic ways to approach this situation before, during, and after the scheduled interview. This week, episode 40 of Successful Podcasting Unlocked answers the question: What do I do if my podcast guest is a no-show?

In this episode, I share:

• Set clear communication and automated reminders when a guest books an interview so they know what to expect and where to find the recording link. 
• If a guest is late or no-shows, reach out calmly with empathy and understanding. 
• Life happens; have backup episodes ready for times when things don’t go according to plan. 
• Alternative strategies for when you don’t have a backup recorded that you can pull forward.

Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips, tricks, and advice as I answer all your podcasting questions. Thank you for listening!
