Best Way to Record Podcast episodes Solo
You need conversational rhythm, but your co-host isn't available
The best content happens in conversation. But coordinating schedules, dealing with no-shows, and managing another person's availability kills momentum.
You want to record when inspiration strikes—not three weeks from now when calendars finally align.
Solo recording feels flat because there's no one to create the back-and-forth that makes interviews engaging.
Why existing solutions don't solve this
Notes don't talk back
Bullet points and outlines give you structure, but they don't create conversational flow. You still end up talking at the camera.
Teleprompters flatten delivery
Reading from a script makes you sound robotic. It removes the natural pauses, reactions, and follow-up thinking that make content engaging.
'Just practice' doesn't solve structure
Recording yourself multiple times without feedback doesn't improve the underlying problem: there's no one to guide the conversation.
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.
Olyetta: An AI interviewer that creates conversational structure
Olyetta is designed to solve the core problem: you need someone to talk with, not just talk at.

This isn't a prompt generator or a teleprompter. It's a system that actively participates in the conversation.
Asks follow-up questions
Reacts to your answers in real-time, digging deeper into interesting points instead of moving through a static list.
