They say talk is cheap—but podcasting is currently a billion-dollar business. Alex is joined by veteran broadcaster Joe Pardavila, who has produced over ten thousand hours of audio content over the course of his career in podcasting and terrestrial radio. Pardavila reveals how you can create the kind of conversations that draw both audiences and applause. 

Pardavila was a radio personality and producer on the legendary New York City radio station, 95.5 PLJ, where he was part of the iconic “Scott & Todd in the Morning”. He's also the author of Good Listen: Creating Memorable Conversations in Business and Life.

Today, he shares with Alex his thoughts on:

• Why a fearless attitude can go a long way in landing prized interviews and achieving success.
• Why asking lots of questions is the key to building great relationships – on podcasts and in life.
• How to approach questions in ways that will create trust and bonding, rather than distrust and suspicion.
• Why listening is the most important skill for interviewers (or anyone) – and why it can take some practice.
