Interview-based podcasts are easy to start. You just hit record.

But how do you make it interesting?

You must have conflict. Here's how you do it (a thread):
1. Create context - what background does the audience need?

2. State the problem - what's the conflict you want to explore?

3. Provide a resolution - what does the world look like once you overcome the problem?

Ok. But how does this work with a REAL podcast episode?

I just recorded an interview with @DescriptApp And here's how the episode was structured...conflict included.

[Context]

In today’s world, podcasts go beyond just audio and require images, videos and written content.

[Problem]

But the traditional audio editing workflow makes it impossible to get all of this accomplished. It's completely broken.

[Resolution]

So that’s why Descript was created. Descript is a collaborative audio/video editor that works like a Google doc. Collaborate on edits, pull out clips and share the same workspace in real-time.

So rather than asking a series of questions and just getting information...we went on a journey. An adventure that includes a problem and a resolution.

And that's more interesting.

I'll be releasing the episode in a few weeks.
