Summary: When you're new to podcasting it's natural to want to script everything because having words on paper can feel like a warm security blanket. But reading from a script on your podcast immediately distances you from your audience. Why? Because you're more focused on the page than you are on them. In this episode, I explain how to make sure you're prepared and have all the information you need in front of you without disconnecting from the people who are listening to your show. Resources...
