“You need to invite us in, and the way you do that is by bringing us all along with your thought process. Round table podcasts do need to feel different than polished, heavily produced radio pieces. Slickness is the enemy, it keeps us listening at a far remove. We want to feel like we’re in the room with you. So by all means, prepare, and think about phrasing. But plan ways to say things that will open the discussion, not shut it down.”

Glen Weldon, Panellist for Pop Culture Happy Hour Podcast
