About the role
This interview explores how you develop, record, edit and publish a podcast that has a clear identity. The panel wants to see audience awareness, thoughtful guest preparation, strong editorial listening and a dependable quality-control workflow.
How to prepare
- Break down two podcasts you admire by format, audience promise, pacing and use of sound.
- Prepare an example of restructuring an interview or narrative during the edit.
- Review how you prevent and repair common remote recording problems.
- Practise pitching a repeatable series rather than a loose list of topics.
- Map your checks for titles, descriptions, credits, audio levels and final files.
Common mistakes
- Pitching a broad subject without a defined listener or repeatable format.
- Over-editing speech until the guest sounds unnatural or their meaning changes.
- Leaving publishing details and audio checks until the last moment.
