Be A Less Annoying Dave When Hosting Your Next Podcast Guest - Daily Dave - Podcast Tips

Talking over a guest with verbal affirmations is not a best practice for podcasters for several reasons:

1. It disrupts the flow of conversation and can interrupt the guest's train of thought. This can lead to a disjointed interview and potentially cause the guest to lose their momentum or forget important points they wanted to make.

2. Constant verbal affirmations can create unnecessary audio clutter that is difficult to edit out later.  This can result in a lower quality final product and more time-consuming post-production work.

3. Overuse of verbal affirmations can make the host appear inattentive or insincere.  Instead of actively listening, the host may come across as simply waiting for their turn to speak or filling silence out of discomfort.

4. It can make the guest feel uncomfortable or unheard. When a host frequently interrupts with affirmations, it may give the impression that they are not fully engaged with what the guest is saying.

5. Verbal affirmations can interfere with the audience's ability to fully absorb the guest's message. Listeners may find it distracting and struggle to follow the conversation.

Instead of using verbal affirmations, podcasters should practice active listening, use non-verbal cues like nodding, and allow for natural pauses in the conversation

This approach creates a more engaging and professional podcast experience for both the guest and the audience.
