your questions to draw the guests out, to get them to really contribute
to the subject and maybe even catch them off guard a little. Nothing

is more boring than a list of predictable questions with simple one-

4. Be prepared to follow up. Have a set of secondary questions at
your disposal. You have a rough idea of where the conversation
may go. Keep a list of questions to follow up on any material you
are almost certain that your interviewee will delve into.

5. Keep to the matter at hand. It is easy for interviewees to become
diverted from the topic at hand or digress onto a subject of only
tangential importance. Use your script to keep the focus on the
subject matter.

6. Write a brief summary and thank you. Your talk show should end

with a summary of the issues as they were discussed. It is also
important to take a second to thank the person you have interviewed
for making time in their schedule to come on your talk show.
