Episode 502 - Should I have a One Sheet for My Podcast as the Host - The Daily Dave - Podcasting TipsWhat is a Podcast One-Sheet? Podcast one-sheets tell a podcast host why they should choose you as a guest and which topics you can eloquently speak about. You should view it as your podcast resume! Unsurprisingly, a one-sheet is one piece of paper  filled with brief information that helps steer conversations during a podcast. While these sheets will cover quite a bit of information, one-sheets shouldn’t seem crowded. The layout of compelling one-sheets flows seamlessly; podcast hosts and guests should have the ability to skim the sheet to find the subtopic they’re looking for. Here are the main components of a podcast one-sheet: HeadshotBioSuggested interview topicsSuggested questionsSocial media/contact information Appearances on other podcasts (if applicable) Why Are One-Sheets Important?If you’re a podcast host, would you want to invite a guest onto your show without knowing about them? You would be rolling the dice. On the flip side, podcast guests might not appreciate recording a podcast if the host had little to no information about them. It might not work well if a real estate agent randomly appears on a podcast without the host having any background information. One-sheets have become an industry norm because they help keep the podcast space organized and help podcast hosts choose the right guests to bring onto their show. Simply put: podcast hosts need one-sheets to find the right people to contribute to their show’s value. If you’re interested in being a guest on a podcast, you should use a one-sheet to market yourself. How Do You Design a One-Sheet? There are six essential components in a one-sheet:The headshot sectionThe bio sectionThe suggested questions sectionThe suggested topic questionThe podcast appearances section⁠⁠___⁠https://www.youtube.com/@TheHowToPodcastSeries⁠⁠https://howtopodcast.ca/⁠Leave Dave a message ⁠⁠⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/HelloDave⁠
