Panel discussions are not just a way to fit more guests into a podcast episode.

Done well, they are a relationship-building strategy.

I joined Megan Dougherty on The Business Podcast Spotlight to talk about how I host author panel discussions on the Biz Book Pub Hub podcast.

We talked about:

• Why planning matters before the recording starts
• Why not everyone should answer every question
• How to keep the conversation balanced and engaging
• How panels can help hosts build stronger relationships with guests and audience members

A great panel is not “one question, three answers, repeat.”

It’s a moderated conversation designed to make the guests look good, serve the audience, and create meaningful follow-up opportunities.

If you host a podcast, run virtual events, or bring experts together for your community, I think you’ll find this conversation useful.
