Hi Newsletter Subscribers, Last week we talked about something that's quietly true in podcasting:   Most collaborations are meant to be one-offs. One good conversation. A clean beginning and end. Everyone moves on.   But this week I want to talk about the other kind.   The collaborations that shouldn't be one-offs. The ones where the chemistry is real, the audience loves it, and you finish recording thinking: “We could absolutely do this again.” That's where momentum lives.   Not in chasing new guests forever. Not in endless outreach. But in building a few repeat collaborations that feel easy and aligned.   Let's talk about how that actually happens — for hosts and guests. 🎧 Why “invite-back” guests are pure gold (host perspective) If you're a host, you already know this:   Repeat guests aren't just fun — they're strategic.   They give you:   ✨ less admin ✨ less risk ✨ more trust with listeners ✨ better conversations (because you're not starting from zero) ✨ consistency without burnout   And here's the truth:   Hosts aren't looking for the “best expert in the world.”   They're looking for:   people who make the show better AND make the host's life easier.   That's what invite-back worthy really means. 🎙️ How guests become invite-back worthy (without trying too hard) If you're a guest, this is the good news:   You don't need to be the smartest person. You don't need a massive audience. You don't need to perform.   You just need to be the kind of guest a host thinks:   “That was easy. That was good. I'd do that again.”   Here are the traits that get you invited back:   🎯 You're specific (not generic) 🧠 You bring stories (not just information) ⏱️ You respect time (clean answers, no rambling) 📣 You promote the episode (without being asked) 🤝 You're collaborative (you make it feel like a conversation, not a stage) 🧾 Host: the invite-back checklist (quick + real) After recording with someone, ask:   🎙️ Did this guest improve the energy of the show? 🧠 Did they bring stories/examples (not just theory)? ⏱️ Were they easy to guide and keep on track? 📣 Will they promote without being chased? ✨ Would I trust them with a second conversation?   If the answer is mostly yes — you've found someone worth keeping close. ✉️ Guest template: “open door” message (post-episode) This is the simplest way to become a repeat guest without sounding needy.   Send after the episode airs (or after recording if you don't have the release date yet).   Hi (Host Name), Just wanted to say thanks again — I really enjoyed that conversation. If you ever want to do a follow-up episode on [one specific angle we touched on], I'd genuinely love to come back and go deeper. Either way, appreciate you having me on — and I'll be sharing the episode when it goes live 🙌 Thanks again, (Your Name)   Why this works: ✨ it's specific ✨ it's low-pressure ✨ it signals “I'm easy to work with” ✨ it opens the door without forcing it ✉️ Host template: inviting someone back Hi (Name),   Loved our conversation — it landed really well and felt like a great fit.   Would you be up for coming back for a follow-up episode in the next [month/season]?   We could go deeper on [topic angle], or explore [another angle] if you prefer.   If you're open to it, send a few dates that work and we'll lock it in 🙌   (Your Name)   🔀 Bonus: the underrated move (host-to-host referral) If someone isn't right for your show but is great overall — you can still be the bridge.   Hi (Name),   Thanks for reaching out — it's not quite the right fit for my show right now, but I genuinely think you'd be a great match for (Other Host / Podcast).   If you reach out, feel free to mention I suggested it.   Wishing you luck, (Your Name)   This makes you: ✨ generous ✨ connected ✨ memorable   And it strengthens the ecosystem (which is what this community is all about). <!--[if mso | IE]> <![endif]--> ✅ This week's move (simple) 🎙️ Hosts: pick one guest from the last month who deserves a second episode — and invite them back. 🎧 Guests: pick one great collaboration — and send the open door message.   Not to “grow faster.” Just to build relationships that actually feel good.   Happy Collaborating, __ The Podcast Collaborative Team  Ready to ride the wave of podcasting's biggest year yet?
