Study Your Target Audience and Customize Questions For Them</h3><p>Everything about your podcast should be centered around one thing: Your target audience. Spend time studying your listeners as much as you can to learn about their values, beliefs, desires, and dreams. If you understand some of the common pains and struggles your audience goes through you can come up with some amazing interview questions. </p><p>Study your audience online in <a href="https://www.reddit.com/" target="_blank">subreddits</a>, <a href="https://www.quora.com/" target="_blank">Quora</a>, with an audience research tool like <a href="https://sparktoro.com/" target="_blank">Sparktoro</a>. Watch their favorite YouTubers. Subscribe to their favorite newsletters. Follow their favorite influencers on social media. Reach out to listeners directly by sending a survey or running polls on social media. </p><h3>2. Use Who, What, When, Where, Why, How to Generate Unique Ideas</h3><p>This short list of questions, also known as the five w’s, is an excellent way to use first principles to unlock new creative questions. The six (not five) questions that are commonly used in journalism are: </p><ul role="list"><li>Who</li><li>What</li><li>When</li><li>Where</li><li>Why</li><li>How</li></ul><p>I used this framework to generate many of the ideas in this blog. I would simply pick a topic like “personal questions,” write down each of the five w’s, then start generating a short list of questions under each category. You can follow this framework to create your own new questions, too. </p><h3>3. Use Question Formulas to Generate Ideas Quickly </h3><p>Many of our favorite questions can actually be used as a formula or template. Look for inspiration in book titles, conversations with friends, or other podcasts, and make the questions unique by swapping out the information inside of the question. </p><p><strong>Here are a few question formulas to get your creative juices flowing: </strong></p><p><strong>Do you like [This] or [that]? </strong></p><ul role="list"><li>Do you like dogs or cats? </li><li>Do you like Mac or Windows? </li><li>Do you like Chick-Fil-A or Arby's? </li></ul><p><strong>Would you rather [option one] or [option two]? </strong></p><ul role="list"><li>Would you rather eat a scorpion’s brain or frog legs? </li><li>Would you rather see out of your ears or smell with your feet? </li></ul><p><strong>If you could wave a magic wand and change anything, what would you change about [object/organization/person/place]? </strong></p><ul role="list"><li>If you could wave a magic wand and change anything, what would you change about Disney World? </li></ul><p><strong>If you were on a desert island, what one [object] would you bring? </strong></p><ul role="list"><li>If you were on a desert island, what one drink would you bring? </li><li>If you were on a desert island, what one comic book would you bring? </li><li>If you were on a desert island and had one choice, would you choose WiFi or a shower? </li></ul><p><strong>How do you pronounce [funny word]? </strong></p><ul role="list"><li>How do you pronounce t-o-m-a-t-o? </li><li>How do you pronounce g-i-f?</li><li>How do you pronounce n-i-c-h-e? </li></ul><p><strong>What is your favorite [object]? </strong></p><ul role="list"><li>What is your favorite podcast? </li><li>What is your favorite book?</li><li>What is your favorite song? </li><li>What is your favorite quote? </li><li>What is your favorite cereal? </li></ul><p><strong>Who is your favorite [job title/character/type of person]? </strong></p><ul role="list"><li>Who is your favorite sports team? </li><li>Who is your favorite philosopher? </li><li>Who is your favorite author? </li><li>Who is your favorite celebrity? </li></ul><p><strong>What is your dream [object/relationship/place/idea]? </strong></p><ul role="list"><li>What is your dream house like? </li><li>What is your dream car? </li><li>What does your dream retirement look like? </li><li>What dream invention do you wish was a reality? </li></ul><h3>4. Know Which Questions to Avoid </h3><p>It’s just as important to know what <em>not </em>to ask. Make sure you do some good research on your guests to know what topics they like talking about and what their life backstory is. </p><p>The more you know about your guest, the more you can ask them questions without worrying about being tone-deaf to inappropriate topics. <br/>Take the time before you hit record, to ask your guest if there’s anything they would rather not talk about. Some shows make a name for themselves by digging into those “off-topic areas,” but just make sure your guest is on board with that before you hit record. </p><h3>5. Come Up With A Signature Question For Your Show </h3><p>A signature question is a question that you ask on each episode of your show that closely ties into the theme of your podcast. An example of a signature question is </p><p>The thing I love about signature questions is that if you ask one question to each guest on your podcast, you’re bound to get dozens of different answers. This diversity of answers and ideas is a wonderful way to learn new things and expand your own perspective. </p><p><strong>Examples: </strong></p><ul role="list"><li>Guy Raz asks each founder on <a href="https://www.npr.org/series/490248027/how-i-built-this" target="_blank">How I Built This</a> “How much of your success do you attribute to luck?
