One could say your podcast host is the backbone of your podcast. If listeners don't like your host, they probably aren't going to stay around for long. So, picking the right podcast host, or co-host is a really big deal. And today we're going to discuss how to find great podcast hosts... and how to keep them.  Having a script or outline can help set up your podcast host for success!
