advice to nonfiction writers on podcasts:
Do not script your answers! Just have a conversation, like you would with a buddy in your field or your brother who knows nothing about this subject.
(I see you there, hands on your keyboard. Just stop that, now! You know who you are.)
advice to podcast hosts:
Do not provide your questions in advance, or writers will painstakingly craft their ultimately bloodless answers.
seriously:
If you're going to write your answers, then shut up and post that to a blog. Talk shows should be conversational and unscripted.
