Podcasts are fundamentally about conversation, and interview shows have long been a staple of the medium. Few podcasts can boast as star-studded a catalogue as Tape Notes, however, which has spent the last six years interviewing a who’s-who of top music acts from Blur to Bicep.

But how does a podcast get such high-profile talent on the show in the first place, and how do you get the best out of them when they’re there? In this week’s episode, Rhianna Dhillon and Adam Shepherd speak to John Kennedy, Tape Notes host and veteran Radio X DJ, about his approach to interviewing, how to put guests at ease, and why microphone discipline is a challenge even for those who spend their lives in front of them.

Hosted by Rhianna Dhillon and produced by Matt Hill for Haymarket Business Media.
