Chapter 1: What challenges do podcasters face in scheduling guests?
I have to schedule about seven guests a week to get four people.
Wow.
Do you know what a problem that is? Then you hear them talk and they're like, oh, it's no big deal. I don't even think it's a story. And then you interview them and you're like, bro.
You got a great story.
He was like, we were so over the top in love when he got in trouble. She had agreed that if he got less than I think it was like seven years, she would wait for him because sometimes you'll interview somebody. And then as soon as you kind of sign off, you'll be laying in bed that night and think that I never asked him this or that. You start thinking of all these questions I should have asked.
Hey, this is Matt. I'm here with Zach. We decided to do a StreamYard to talk about, basically kind of talk about our channels. And also I'm going to make a plea to viewers about being guests on the show. So check out the video. Here's why we're here. Guests.
It's S-T, not two S's. Guests.
Yeah, guests. I need guests for my channel. Yeah. So I, I think I told you this. I have to schedule about seven guests a week to get four people.
Wow.

Chapter 2: Why is it difficult to find reliable guests for podcasts?
Yeah.
Like I have like reading how they got their name, their reasoning of why the FBI gave them a certain name, their rationale for robbing. Oh, bank robbers are the best, I think. with the stories.
I love them.
Yeah.
I've got some, I've had some good ones. The problem is some of these guys stories, like I didn't really know how to interview anybody at the, not that I know, not that I'm great now, but like, I hate it because sometimes you'll interview somebody. And then as soon as you kind of sign off, you'll be laying in bed that night and think, man, I never asked him this or that.
You start thinking of all these questions I should have asked.
right so i have a question so what kind of guests are you looking for um so i it they can be i can do criminal stories or i can do like extraordinary achievements this doesn't necessarily have to be crimes it can be something that they've done in in in life or or opinion of something or they've attended certain events because i kind of want to mix it up a little bit but i do i like
the crime stories because, you know, naturally of my background and get an opportunity to break them down. But so that would be my main focus. But also maybe people who have been around criminals. Just the other day, you know, because I still do a little bit of law work. And just the other day I was talking to a woman, a rapper named Icy Blue, who's in jail.
And she had me on the phone almost an hour and a half, but telling me stories that were blowing my mind. She was absolutely amazing. hilarious. I enjoyed the whole conversation.

Chapter 3: What types of stories make for interesting podcast content?
They need to be able to edit. You know, like they can download the videos. We can, we can send them the videos and they can trim them down. They could, you know, run them through a filter, do whatever they want to do to them, put them up, put up like a 15 minute, you know, portion of this, this story, a 10 minute one of this one, a 20 minute of this one, and just post them once or twice a week.
But I mean, you never, the thing is, is not the 15 minute videos. They'll sometimes they'll get a whole bunch of views.
Right.
So you don't know, you know, that channel could end up blowing up. But I mean, I really just the guy that was running it basically just didn't want to run it anymore. I think that he was a younger kid and he stopped doing it. We just never really picked it up and ran with it.
Right.
But I definitely it's sitting there and I think it'd be great if I could find somebody that could could do that, that would do it, you know, really like really do it, not do it for two months and say, I'm not interested.
But I've seen in my email, I've gotten a couple of people offering to make shorts out of my video. Like, hey, you need someone to edit your videos.
Right, but they want to get paid, right?
Yes.
