On self-indulgent podcast guests and how to do better

I started a 7 Deadly Sins of Podcasting in my weekly newsletter and wanted to bring it to you here on the podcast too.

Number one of the 7 deadly sins of podcasting is gluttony or what we also call over-indulgence. Many of us like to talk but sometimes we risk taking over or ignoring the cues from show hosts and making it all about us instead of considering the audience and what they would most benefit from.

What do we do about it? How can we deal with it as show hosts? What's the most likely outcome of being too self-absorbed and self-indulgent as a podcast guest?

Look out for my holiday special episode coming out later this week as I bring back the amazing Simon Lancaster to the show.
