Best Way to Record Interviews Solo
Solo recording removes the accountability that creates good content
When you're alone, there's no one to keep you on track. You ramble, go off-topic, or lose energy halfway through.
A co-host keeps you accountable—they signal when you're unclear, when to move on, when to dig deeper.
Without that external structure, even your best ideas come out unfocused and hard to follow.
The limitations of solo recording tools
Video editors can't add conversational structure
Post-production tools can trim rambling but can't retroactively create the back-and-forth rhythm of a real conversation.
AI transcription doesn't improve delivery
Getting a transcript of your monologue just documents the problem—it doesn't solve the absence of conversational dynamics.
Scheduling software doesn't solve availability
Making it easier to book guests doesn't change the fact that you're dependent on someone else's calendar.
Why follow-up questions unlock deeper thinking
The best insights don't come from prepared statements—they emerge when someone asks 'why?' or 'tell me more about that.'
Follow-up questions force you to articulate the reasoning behind your initial response. This is where clarity happens.
Solo recording can't replicate this. You need an active participant who responds to what you actually say.
