<p>It is rare that a talk show host is involved in interviewing people in a hostage situation but it could happen.  My advice to you is to try to avoid it at all costs,  because little good ever comes out of it.  However sometimes station management will ask you to do interviews around a hostage situation and you should know a few ground rules.  Here are six things to keep in mind if you are involved in interviewing during a hostage situation:</p>
<p><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document" /><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 9" /><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 9" /></p>
<link href="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/edward/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msoclip1/01/clip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List" /><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>  <w:WordDocument>   <w:View>Normal</w:View>   <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom>   <w:DoNotOptimizeForBrowser/>  </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><br />
<style> <!--  /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal 	{mso-style-parent:""; 	margin:0in; 	margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:12.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	color:black;} @page Section1 	{size:8.5in 11.0in; 	margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; 	mso-header-margin:.5in; 	mso-footer-margin:.5in; 	mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 	{page:Section1;} --> </style>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is a quick review of<span>  </span>some do’s and don’ts when doing interviews during hostage taking situations:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">.Frist, assuming you have access to the hostage-taker, never, never interview them and post the interview, while the hostage situation is still underway.<span>  </span>Boy will you mess up the operation for all concerned, just never do this.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Secondly, never speculate on what is going on around the interview, stick to the facts.<span>  </span>You can force different outcomes by doing this and it may not be something you want on your conscience.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Third.,<span>  </span>never try to interview members of the police or others emergency workers involved in the situation.<span>  </span>They are very, very busy and you can hurt their efforts.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Fourth, unless you know for sure, never tell the audience what the state of mind is of the hostage taker.<span>  </span>Once again you can force conclusions that could be very bad for all concerned.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Fifth, even though it may make for good theater, stay away from interviewing victims or family members as this could agitate the hostage taker. Remember victims that have been interviewed are the number one source of lawsuits against broadcasters.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sixth, even if you know the game plan of the police, never reveal it until the operation is over.<span>  </span>The hostage taker may pick up the information with bad results for all.<span>  </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Believe me as a leading talk show host coach I have seen all of these things go wrong and you don&#8217;t want any part of it, your career can go South fast.  If you are interested in getting more information on any aspect of talk show hosting, why not book a FREE phone session with me.  I can probably help you no matter what it is.  Email me at email@conductknockoutbroadcastinterviews.com.</p>

<p class="moduleHeader">
<h2>RTDNA: Radio Journalism Salaries Hold Steady</h2>
<p><!-- Start Inside Article Content Section --> <!-- Begin Article Image --> <!-- End Article Image -->August 26, 2010: The latest Radio Television Digital News  Association/Hofstra University survey of radio and TV newsroom salaries  finds that radio news salaries in 2009 were flat with the previous year.  In the 2008 survey, salaries were down 1.8 percent.</p>
<p>&#8220;With  negative inflation in 2009, even flat salaries mean no loss in buying  power,&#8221; said Hofstra University journalism professor Bob Papper, who  directs the annual survey.</p>
<p>Radio news directors, reporters,  producers, and sports reporters saw their pay rise slightly last year,  offset by slight declines for news and sports anchors.</p>
<p>In TV, salaries overall rose by 2.5 percent in 2009, compared to a 4.4 percent drop a year before.</p>
<p>The  survey was conducted in the fourth quarter of last year among all 1,770  operating non-satellite TV stations and a random sample of 4,000 radio  stations. Valid responses came in from 1,355 TV stations and 203 news  directors and GMs representing 301 radio stations.</p>

<p>Many of my talk show host coaching  clients are interested in expanding their audience size, but they have limited budgets for promoting their shows.  Enter social media.  Social media is free and it can be incredibly effective.  Here is an article from http://abraham.ilikehandbag.com that covers how to collect information using social media.  These methods can be very useful to you if used properly.  If you use them to gain better insights into what you audience wants you can move your show ahead.  This same media can be used to get information out on upcoming shows, etc.  Read this article and consider all the ways you can use these sources to your advantage:</p>
<h2 class="posttitle"><a href="http://abraham.ilikehandbag.com/2010/08/30/collecting-valuable-information-using-social-media-2/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Collecting Valuable Information using Social Media">Collecting Valuable Information using Social Media</a></h2>
<p class="categs">Filed Under: <a href="http://abraham.ilikehandbag.com/category/uncategorized/" title="View all posts in Uncategorized" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a> by abraham</p>
<p>Certainly everybody understands that social media has become a very  important public relations and advertising tool.  In fact, one of the  most powerful advantages of using social media is the ability it  provides with regards to monitoring your brand.  You can use search  engines in Twitter or Facebook to find how many times your company has  been mentioned.  There have even been applications developed that will  deliver this information in real-time to your desktop.  However, this  kind of information really only tells you about the visibility or reach  of your brand without telling you anything about how people perceive  your brand, use your brand, or feel about your brand.  If you want more  specific feedback, you have to get more proactive.  Social media can be  used to gather specific information from clients or potential clients  about your business, new products and services, the effectiveness of  marketing campaigns, and other issues.  The following are a few ways  that you can harness the power of social media to gather detailed  information about your company.</p>
<p>Use your Website or Blog to Post a Survey<br />
Surveys have become  commonplace on many websites.  If you visit a news site you might see a  survey about your favourite sports team or movie and in fact you can get  quite a lot <a href="http://www.iluxuryonline.com/louis-vuitton-bags-c-111.html"><strong>LV handbags</strong></a>  of information about site visitors with a survey.  Indeed, feedback  forms have evolved from the cards you get in restaurants, for example,  to short surveys on websites and they can be easily adapted for use  without any programming knowledge.  One service that allows you to  create any kind of form, including open-ended questions, multiple choice  questions, <a href="http://www.iluxuryonline.com/louis-vuitton-bags-c-111.html"><strong>louis vuitton bags online</strong></a>  or polls with radio buttons, is WuFoo.  Once you create your survey it  is easily embedded on your website or blog with a simple cut and paste  function.  Moreover, you can log into <a href="http://www.iluxuryonline.com/louis-vuitton-bags-c-111.html"><strong>LV handbags</strong></a> your <a href="http://www.iluxuryonline.com/louis-vuitton-bags-c-111.html"><strong>LV handbags</strong></a>  WuFoo account where you get immediate reports on the outcomes of your  questionnaire or survey and you can even update your polls as you go.</p>
<p>Create a Facebook Poll<br />
Many businesses nowadays are aware of the  impact of a Facebook page.  With millions of users around the world,  Facebook represents one of the easiest ways to reach a wide audience  quickly.  If your company or brand uses a Facebook page, you can add  applications to keep your “friends” engaged and interested in your  brand.  By adding applications like polls to your Facebook page, your  friends are not only giving you some information but they are also  communicating their interest in your brand to other friends.  This  means, you not only have an excellent opportunity to gather information  but you can increase your audience as well.</p>
<p>Twitter Polls<br />
Using Twitter allows you to share links to your  webpage or blog and likewise to any polls you may have posted.  Once you  have used a service like WuFoo you probably want to attract <a href="http://www.iluxuryonline.com/louis-vuitton-bags-c-111.html"><strong>louis vuitton bags online</strong></a>  as many people to the poll as possible.  Sending out a link to your  poll on Twitter allows you to bring your Twitter audience to your web  page and subsequently gather information from them.  In addition, there  are even feedback applications that have been designed specifically for  Twitter.  This gives you immediate information.  All you need to do is  set up your account with a company like PollDaddy, create your question  or pole, and then questions are automatically tweeted to your followers.   Likewise, TwtPoll, is another Twitter polling service that has a  built-in feature that allows respondents of your poll to further tweet  the poll question to their followers.  This vastly expands the size of  your audience and gives you more realistic information about the  perception of your brand (really, if you always ask your followers what  they think, you might not get the most honest feedback…imagine what  would have happened with Vista if Microsoft only polled people who love  Vista).</p>
<p>Don’t Forget YouTube<br />
Posting a YouTube video comes with two major  advantages.  First, you can reach a wide audience with whom you can  share your company and brand information.  YouTube is becoming more and  more popular and because it’s free it can be a great place to expand  your brand’s reach.  In addition, YouTube allows for more detailed  responses to your brand.  YouTube users can watch your video and share  detailed comments about what they think and feel about it.  Also, you  can cross-link between your video and your webpage or blog thereby  increasing traffic to your website and to your video so you gather more  information from more users.</p>
<p>Be Responsible<br />
Social media provides businesses with low-cost and  efficient solutions for gathering information from customers.  You can  easily post information about upcoming products or services and you can  inform a large audience about your brand.  Conducting market research  has never been easier but there are some drawbacks that come from using  social media to conduct market research.  Namely, using social media  means you are putting information out on an open platform that almost  anybody can access.  For example, imagine your company has been working  for years on a revolutionary new product and you want to ask your  customers what they think.  Posting a poll on Facebook means that  everybody can access information about this new product and you are  essentially broadcasting sensitive information to your competitors.  As  such, social media market research should be designed carefully as to  help you gather the information you need without unveiling the details  of your market strategy.</p>

<p>Many of my talk show host clients use Skype, but I worry about its overuse.  It just doesn&#8217;t give you the quality and audiences will be turned off if your production values drop on a regular basis.  Skype is perfect for deadline situations but the downside is a degradation in video and sound quality.</p>
<p>Here is an article from http://www.huffingtonpost.com that discusses Skype use at large TV stations.  I think you will find it interesting:<br />

<p>NEW YORK — When he wanted to interview a  source in Connecticut for a recent &#8220;World News&#8221; story on technology, ABC  reporter Pierre Thomas didn&#8217;t even leave the office. ABC&#8217;s cameras  showed him sitting in front of a computer screen, talking to Michael  Coppolla through Skype.The video phone service has become an important tool for television  news organizations over the past several months. Producers say it  enables them to reach many more people for interviews. It also saves  money, although its current users insist Skype won&#8217;t become a crutch.</p>
<p>Skype encourages news organizations to use the service,  doesn&#8217;t charge for it and offers detailed advice on how to best take  advantage of the technology. The company asks networks to display its  logo or verbally identify Skype.</p>
<p>&#8220;It really has changed the way we do business,&#8221; said Tom Costello, a Washington-based NBC News reporter.</p>
<p>While reporting on a bad egg outbreak a week ago, Costello found an  elderly woman in a remote section of Pennsylvania who has lingering  stomach problems from a salmonella poisoning five years ago. There was  no way to reach her in time with a camera crew for &#8220;Nightly News,&#8221; but  Costello was surprised to find she regularly used Skype, and that&#8217;s how  they did the interview.</p>
<p>One of Washington&#8217;s paralyzing snowstorms last winter left Costello  without power and stranded at home, but his wife held up a laptop to  take a picture of him thigh-deep in snow in their front yard so Costello  could do a live report.</p>
<p>All three broadcast network newscasts use Skype to a certain extent.  Fox News Channel interviews people under the banner &#8220;Skype gripe.&#8221;  Barbara Walters talked about her heart surgery on &#8220;The View&#8221; by way of  Skype. The &#8220;Today&#8221; show keeps connected with viewers through Skype.</p>
<p>&#8220;This opens the entire country up for us to get to instantaneously,&#8221;  said Jon Banner, &#8220;World News&#8221; executive producer. &#8220;It is a terrific  advance and we would be foolish not to take advantage of any technical  advance that&#8217;s out there.&#8221;</p>
<p>Skype is perfect for deadline situations – such as the late-day  interview ABC&#8217;s Thomas conducted, Banner said. It also gives ABC access  to a wider selection of experts for stories, he said.</p>

<p>A downside is a degradation in video quality. The Skype picture for  Thomas&#8217; interview was fuzzy, and it sometimes seemed interview subject  Coppolla&#8217;s voice wasn&#8217;t in sync with his moving mouth. It wasn&#8217;t the  high-definition video to which viewers are accustomed.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why Skype, while a great tool, is best used in an emergency,  said Rick Kaplan, executive producer of the &#8220;CBS Evening News.&#8221; The  picture is less of a concern to NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Nightly News,&#8221; which recently  shot anchor Brian Williams Skype-ing with a girl he met in an  Afghanistan orphanage who is in Los Angeles for a visit.</p>
<p>&#8220;The audience has accepted that what you&#8217;re going to see is a wide  range of video quality in a broadcast,&#8221; said Bob Epstein, executive  producer of NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Nightly News.&#8221;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s one of the reasons Skype has a website devoted to giving  television executives advice on equipment needed for the best picture,  said Michele Don Durbin, the company&#8217;s U.S. marketing director. &#8220;Oprah,&#8221;  for example, has a dedicated high-speed line that it uses just for  Skype, she said. It doesn&#8217;t serve Skype&#8217;s interests if a TV network  shows a poor picture with the company&#8217;s logo.</p>
<p>The company doesn&#8217;t seek exclusivity agreements with networks or  charge for on-air use because each instance solidifies its reputation  among consumers, she said.</p>
<p>Not everyone believes Skype&#8217;s spread is the best idea for news  organizations. Steven Rosenbaum, a former TV producer who developed &#8220;MTV  Unfiltered&#8221; and now runs a video sharing website, questioned whether  Skype is just a way to cut corners.</p>
<p>At &#8220;MTV Unfiltered,&#8221; his staff would send out cameras to people with  stories to tell, asking them to film themselves and their world. It  wasn&#8217;t innovation. &#8220;We were just cheap,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no substitute for reporters going out on location for  stories, he said. Meeting people face-to-face invariably produces richer  stories.</p>
<p>&#8220;This hastens the demise of the journalism part of TV journalism,&#8221;  Rosenbaum said. &#8220;You&#8217;re making the reporting part of the journalism  perfunctory.&#8221;</p>
<p>Producers note that print journalists make frequent use of telephone  interviews and don&#8217;t always show up at the doorstep of story subjects.  The difference, though, is that television is a visual medium and needs  pictures.</p>
<p>Deborah Potter, executive director of the TV news think tank Newslab,  said that networks can&#8217;t always get to areas for certain stories, such  as earthquakes and other disasters. Local stations use Skype to talk to  people from their communities who might be visiting those areas, which  allows networks to &#8220;broaden their scope and add context to stories,&#8221; she  said.</p>
<p>Skype&#8217;s improving quality means that the days of expensive trucks  being sent on the road for live pictures may be numbered, Potter said.</p>
<p>&#8220;No matter what story we&#8217;re doing, if we have the option to get there  and be there in person, that&#8217;s our responsibility and that&#8217;s what we  do,&#8221; ABC&#8217;s Banner said. &#8220;There are times when we don&#8217;t have that  luxury.&#8221;</p>

<p>As a talk show host coach, you know I am always on ways to monitor how you and/or your competition is doing or to gain market intelligence.  I just found a new tool from youtube that will allow you to find out who is watching certain videos and learn a lot about them.  This can be very useful if you or your competitors are posting on youtube, or if you are interested in who is into a certain subject.  Here is the info from youtube:<br />
YouTube today announced updates to the statistics it offers on the videos<br />
you publish at the site, giving you the option to make your statistics<br />
public:</p>
<p>Uploaders can find even more information about their videos via our free<br />
analytics tool, YouTube Insight, including stats about their popularity,<br />
geographic audience, and viewer demographics. But most of this information<br />
is hidden from the view of the millions and millions of people who&#8217;ve never<br />
posted a video to the site, and who therefore don&#8217;t have access to much of<br />
the data we make available to uploaders.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why today we&#8217;re giving you the ability to make some information<br />
collected in Insight available publicly to anyone watching your videos on<br />
YouTube. Now when you watch a video, you can learn even more about it and<br />
its audience: on the watch page, under the &#8220;Statistics &amp; Data&#8221; section, you<br />
will be able to see metrics about a video&#8217;s views over time, its popularity<br />
in different parts of the world, the top drivers of traffic, and the video&#8217;s<br />
top three audience demographics.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve uploaded a video, you will be able to choose whether or not you<br />
want to make this information public. (You can turn this feature on or off<br />
for any or all of the videos you upload, by adjusting the privacy settings<br />
for your videos under &#8220;My Account.&#8221;) But we think that providing your<br />
audience with more information about what they&#8217;re watching can help you<br />
drive views and sustain a more engaged audience. And of course, for those of<br />
you who are partners, allowing statistics to be displayed with your videos<br />
is actually a great way to attract advertisers.</p>
<p>We hope this feature, like others we&#8217;ve launched this year, will help us<br />
further open up analytics on the site, making it easy for users to play with<br />
YouTube information across different platforms.</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t that cool information.  Look you know when it comes to talk show host coaching, I can&#8217;t be beat.  You can&#8217;t beat my price either.  You can have a FREE 45 minute phone coaching session with me, with not obligation or come on.  Just email me at email@conductknockoutbroadcastinterviews.com.</p>

<p>As a talk show host coach I stay abreast of what is going on in all phases of programing and I have found a new phenomena.</p>
<p>TV stations all over the US have just discovered a undeserved time slot and are rushing to take advantage of it.  The media rating agencies have revealed that the 4 AM to 5 AM, yes 4 AM to 5 AM time slot is gaining viewers.  News stations are now putting &#8220;early morning&#8221; shows on starting at4 AM. 4:30 AM,  or 5 AM to serve this time slot.  It is not clear what is driving the growth in viewing at this time but it appears Americans are up earlier than they used to be.  So you as a talk show host may want to consider how you can move into this time slot, as you will have less completion for now and can establish a base there.  If you have flexibility in the time your show runs, you ought to look into tailoring content to viewers in the early morning hours.  They are probably commuters so you will need short segments they can watch &#8220;on the fly&#8221;.  Really, you could get in on the ground floor here.</p>

<p>As a talk show host coach I know good advice when I see it and I just ran across this article on http://www.walkleys.com. It contains a number of tips on conducting interviews and is worth reading.</p>
<h3>The Art of the Interview</h3>
<p class="article-meta">
<p class="date">26 August 2010</p>
<p class="author">Written by Walkley Intern Lucienne Bell</p>
<p><!-- .article-meta --></p>
<p class="excerpt big"> 			What are the secrets to a great interview? At this month’s Walkley  Media Conference we asked our panel to share their tips for getting  interview gold be it for video, audio or print. Below is a summary of  their discussion and advice.</p>
<p class="article-images first four width-fix"> 					<a href="http://www.walkleys.com/images/14428_original.jpg" class="gallery" title="By Steve Brodner"> 				<img src="http://www.walkleys.com/cms/content/image/14428/174/237/1/14428.jpg/1" alt="By Steve Brodner" height="237" width="174" />				<span class="caption"> 					By Steve Brodner				</span>	 			</a></p>
<p><strong>Panellists: </strong>Mark Dapin (<em>Good Weekend</em>), Richard Glover (<em>Drive </em>ABC Local Radio), Anna Broinowski (multi award-winning filmmaker) and chaired by Ben Naparstek (Editor <em>The Monthly</em>).</p>
<p>“I want someone insane, obsessed or with something to hide. They’re  the ones who make the best interview subjects for the visual medium,”  said Walkley Award-winning filmmaker <strong>Anna Broinowski</strong>.  When asked by Naparstek whether she felt it was dangerous to like a  subject, Broinowski replied that she always &#8220;falls in love&#8221; with her  subjects, even infamous con-woman Norma Khouri, “I don’t trust her but I  do like her,” Broinowski said.</p>
<p><strong>Mark Dapin </strong>agreed that the best subjects are insane  or obsessed and he admitted to being equally guilty of a level of  Stockholm syndrome, “I start by searching for their most likeable  quality,” he said, “something to love.” Dapin admitted to throwing  himself into his work, sometimes by getting drunk (with or without) his  subject. The general panel consensus was that connecting with your  subject, right off the bat, is the most important part of getting a good  interview.</p>
<p>Whether you like or dislike a subject, ethically you are responsible  for your presentation of that person. In considering ethics,<strong> Richard Glover</strong>  commented that he felt paying for an interview was “wrong and perverts  the story&#8221;. In Glover’s opinion, a good interviewer needs to use &#8220;a  measure of empathy&#8221; however, if it’s too empathetic &#8220;it isn’t fair to  the subject or your audience.&#8221; He advised stepping back and remembering  to see the questions that are at the forefront of people’s minds.</p>
<p><strong>Ben Naparstek</strong> read this famous quote from journalist Janet Malcolm, “<em>Every  journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what  is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible. He is a  kind of confidence man, preying on people&#8217;s vanity, ignorance, or  loneliness, gaining their trust and betraying them without remorse.</em>” Naparstek then asked the panel for their thoughts.</p>
<p>“If I thought all I did was go around betraying people, I couldn’t do it,” said <strong>Anna Broinowski</strong>.  She did say however, that she continues to be amazed at the way people  will behave for the camera. “The camera coaxes out the most  extraordinary things. It’s like they’re saying ‘thankyou lens, thankyou  for letting me confess.’”</p>
<p><strong>Richard Glover </strong>thinks of his interviewees as  “allies” in the presentation of something engaging for listeners.  However, he does acknowledge that there is a certain element of charm  required to convince some potential interviewees. To do this, Glover and  his producers say ‘just’. “We’d <em>just</em> like to have a quick chat. I <em>just </em>wanted to ask one quick question. Could you spare <em>just</em>  two minutes?” Glover also tries to put interviewees at ease before  going on-air by kneeling down beside them in the waiting room or sitting  on the floor for a quick debrief before they come into the studio.</p>
<p><strong>Mark Dapin</strong> often finds himself in the position of  interviewing someone with something to sell, “they want to talk about  their new CD, I want to know if they were beaten by their father,” he  said. One interesting thing Dapin has found is that compliments can go a  long way in writing, “one compliment about their physical appearance in  3000 words of criticism about their politics, and the compliment is  what they take away!”</p>
<p>Naparstek concluded by asking the panel whether over researching was trap for them.</p>
<p><strong>Mark Dapin</strong> candidly admitted to never preparing for an interview or researching his subjects, in contrast to <strong>Anna Broinowski</strong>  who believes you should “know as much as you can about your subject.”  However, Broinowski does think that “over-interviewing before you roll  the cameras is dangerous.” She believes the aim of the pre-interview is  to find the “trigger points” which will get a camera-worthy response.  “You are a director and you want to coach a great performance,” she  said, “not exhaust the emotion beforehand.” Asked when the best time to  stop an interview is, Broinowski replied &#8220;when they walk out!&#8221;</p>
<p>“I start from the position that everyone is an ego-maniac,’” explained <strong>Richard Glover</strong>.  Glover said he often plays something which might trigger a personal  memory in his audience, as a way of linking their experiences to the  interview and involving his listeners. Glover said that humour can work  well to catch well-rehearsed interviewees off guard, He recommended  Jonathan Ross as an example of a great interviewer who never suffers  from “the dreaded clipboard-itis”, a condition in which an interviewer  buries his/her head in pre-written questions and does not pick up on  their interviewee’s answers.</p>
<p>So, find someone insane or obsessed, roll the camera, dump the clipboard, turn on the charm and <em>just </em>ask a couple of quick questions.</p>
<p>And don&#8217;t forget you can have a FREE phone coaching session with me just by emailing me at email@conductknockoutbroadcastinterviews.com.  Anything you want to talk about regarding talk show hosting is OK, and interviewing skills is my favorite subject.</p>

<p>Consider this.  When you buy a new device such as an Ipad,  some people are going to be hired and some people are going to be fired.  Apple will be hiring, and the device you replace will be firing.  Why is this?  Well the Ipad people are more up to date and the others are not.  If you are  not up to date, you will be fired.  You need to look at what the people getting hired have that the people being fired did not and gain these skills.  This applies to talk show hosts as well.  If you are not up to date on technology, current events, media and so on, you are putting yourself on the &#8220;fire&#8221; list.</p>

<p>If you can interview, you can create information products with the same techniques.  And make some nice money in the process.</p>
<p>My friend Fred Gleeck, wrote this  at http://www.fredgleeck.com/blog/ about how to do it:</p>
<h1>Information Marketing Audio Interview Products</h1>
<p>There are a LOT of people selling information products who  produce audio interviews and sell them. LOTS of them. Even those that  come from some of the bigger names in the field are often less than high  quality.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Quite simply because creating GOOD audio products isn’t easy to do.  Here are some things I suggest you make sure and have in place to  produce TOP NOTCH audio interview products.</p>
<p>1. Make sure that you have a GREAT interviewer. Unless the HOST of  your audio program is good, you won’t be able to pull it off. Can anyone  LEARN to do this? Yes, but some better than others. Take a look at my  program <a href="http://www.expertinterviewer.com/" class="external" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ExpertInterviewer.com </a>to get an idea about how to perfect your skills as an interviewer.</p>
<p>2. Makes sure that you have a GREAT guest. This may sound fairly  obvious, BUT, just because you’re interviewing someone who is an expert  in their field, they may not be a very good guest. Spend some time  talking with people on the phone before you invite them to be a guest  and create an audio product.</p>
<p>3. Your guest must truly know their content. A lot of people you’ll  find that you want to interview may have DONE something well, but they  don’t know HOW or WHY the succeeded. This will be NO help to people  listening if all they hear about is how much money your subject has  made, but he or she provides no real content about the process.</p>
<p>4. Your guest must know how to teach. There are people who know their  content and then lack the skills to be able to show others how to  implement what they have done. I’d also exclude these folks from your  audio interview list.</p>
<p>5. As the interviewer, YOU must construct, with your guest’s help, a  great outline. Without a great outline BEFORE the interview, your  chances for creating a great audio program as an information marketer  are virtually nil.</p>
<p>6. As part of your outline you need to create a COMPLETE blueprint of  the process you’re describing. So many of the audio programs I review  leave things out. The net result is frustration for the listener.  They’ve in fact been given ALMOST all of the pieces of the “story” but  not quite. Often this is done to try and coerce them into buying the  NEXT audio product you sell. BAD IDEA.</p>
<p>7. Additional resources should be provided for further study. When  someone is done listening to YOUR audio program, they should know who to  go for next. Someone who has an interest in your topic, probably won’t  ONLY use YOU as their resource. They will look for other “experts” in  the field. Why not introduce them to those folks who you believe are the  RIGHT people?</p>
<p>8. Content trumps production quality. Every time! I am amused by how  some people, particularly speakers, spend a great deal of time worrying  about the editing of an audio program. My line at every seminar or  speech I give is always: “people will ALWAYS forgive poor production  quality, they will NEVER forgive poor content.” This doesn’t mean you  shouldn’t care about production quality, but don’t obsess about it!</p>
<p>9. Audio interviews should be as long as they need to be. No longer,  no shorter. I’ve had people ask me how long an audio interview should  be. The answer is IT DEPENDS! It depends on how long it takes you to  fully cover the subject matter so that your listener will know exactly  what to do next. You’re done when you’ve completed that task. However  long it takes.</p>
<p>10. Don’t leave out the basics. Don’t feel that you’re insulting  people to start at the very beginning of any topic. Those who already  know the elementary parts will listen and pat themselves on the back  while they glide through those parts. Make your audio program something  that ANYONE can learn from.</p>
<p>If you want to really master your interview technique go to http://conductknockoutbroadcastinterviews.com/ it is just what you are looking for.</p>

<p>So Dr. Laura used the &#8220;N&#8221; word on air, it went out without being deleted and now we have her ending her career because of it.  Of course the &#8220;N&#8221; word is wrong, but the lesson for us as talk show hosts is that we need someone watching over us when we are on air.  Do you have someone watching the delay button?  Well even if you don&#8217;t have a staff to watch you on air, you must have a way to pull content before it goes out.  Do not ever record live without this.  Make copies of your shows and edit them before they go live.  Dr. Laura is not the first person to have this happen to and she won&#8217;t be the last, but let&#8217;s not have that person be you.  Find a way to monitor your shows before they go out.  Your career depends on it.</p>
