You may be asking yourself what makes a good interview and podcast. You could have a bad interview but the way that you edit your podcast could make it a whole lot better. Some good things to keep in mind when you want a good interview is to make the person feel comfortable. Ask them questions that will open them up to you, not really personal questions, but questions that will loosen them up.
For a good podcast, you need to edit it to your liking and to make it appealing to others. There are a couple of factors that go into this like music and sound measurements. You have to make sure that you're audible to your audience. So if you're speaking into the mike but your interviewee isn't, you have to adjust the track volume to make sure that all parts that are important to the podcast are broadcasted. Now with the music portion, you have to know when you are using too much music or not using enough to make a difference. The music can't be too loud and you have to know when to fade it in and out.
