If you had always wanted to start a celebrity podcast where you host and interview celebrities, then this episode is for you.
One of the biggest inhibitions when it comes to running an interview based podcast is in approaching prospective guests with a pitch to be a guest on your show.
A lot of people face this problem. You are just not sure of how to go about it and how to deal with the rejections or, no-responses.
Now, imagine if your goal is to host celebrities on your show and interview them.
Celebrities who are considered difficult and almost impossible to approach.
Celebrities who carry their attitude on their sleeves and wouldn’t think twice before rejecting your request.
Celebrities, most of whom wouldn’t even care about responding to the request from a common man.
The problem gets even more problematic. Isn’t it?
Not really! Not at least for the guest on today’s show, whose goal was to interview celebrities and learn about their source of inspiration.
And his profile?
A engineering student.
This is the story of the podcast “How’s the Josh” hosted by Omkar Chaudhari.
In this episode we talk to him and understand how he has successfully managed to host and run a celebrity podcast interview based show.
How to host and run a Celebrity Podcast
One of the most common questions that people ask me in the podcast discovery calls is, “How do I deal with rejections?”
Rejections are difficult to handle and can very easily lead you to de-motivation and depression. But at the same time these rejections can also be a source of motivation to push harder and bounce back.
While it is easier said than done, if you follow your goal passionately it shouldn’t be that difficult.
Which is what you will learn from the guest on the show this week.
In this episode of the show we have a young podcaster who is full of JOSH, on the show. He is an Engineer who is passionate about English Literature and is currently working as a Client Servicing Manager for a Digital Firm.
His show “How’s the Josh” is about engaging and insightful conversations with everybody from Bollywood celebrities to Entrepreneurs and I can say, is full of Josh.
Something that you will notice in this conversation is the energy with which he talks and positions his podcast. His show is aptly named, “How’s the Josh” and you are sure to notice the josh in the conversations.
