TOMORROW 4/4/2023 The Idea Club Meets, 30 minutes

@ideaclub @supporters @Lovelace @AnnieP @ChristiCassidy @Anna @craigconstantine @clevpt @Annetta-iCU365 @CatherineJ

Presenter: (conversation starter) - Catherine Jaeger

Topic: Three’s a crowd - or is it? Hosting and guesting with 3

Why: Why not consider an episode or series with 3 on a podcast? Many shows use a format of a single host with 2 guests or 2 hosts with a single guest. Let’s break this open and discuss the mechanics and magic of when this works and when doesn’t work. Have you done this? Would you consider making it a threesome?

Personally (Catherine Jaeger speaking): I’ve done a threesome (all three of us know each other well) and have considered co-hosting a series. I was part of a spontaneous threesome experiment during the podcast interview practice group (spoiler: it didn’t go well). I have fun listening to podcasts to sense what’s working and what’s now… and now I invite you to join me on this journey!

For extra credit, here are some example threesome shows that we could reflect on:

It’s a podcasters’ roundtable! In this episode, Tim Ferriss, Dax Shepard, and I talk about everything from preparing for podcasts, parenting, and ping pong, to addiction, trauma, and the long, winding road to healing and wholeness.

This is interesting. I have some experience with this.
My wife is part of Ferguson Harrington Hawkes which has 3 hosts and one guest. They recently started doing video too.

My role in this has been as a consultant/ coach and as a guest once too when they were practicing doing the show live in preparation for doing in a theatre in front of a live audience. Lynn's Hubby - Mark Tweddle

I don’t know if I can make it tomorrow but I will try.

Best,
