488. How to Interview Like a Pro: Reena Watts Gets Interviewed by Robert Plank (1,000+ Episodes)

Reena goes on the other side of the mic and brings it back home. This one's a flip of the script. Robert Plank — podcaster, interviewer, and WordPress wizard who's sat across from over a thousand guests — turns the tables and interviews Reena on his own show. Then Wayne tunes in, weighs in, and Reena wraps it with a custom intro just for the Better Call Daddy family. The conversation covers what happens when you spend years behind the mic before you ever step in front of it: how early experiences in entertainment shaped Reena's approach to storytelling, why vulnerability is the through-line of every great interview, and what it actually takes to find your voice as a podcaster. Robert brings the craft perspective — Reena brings the heart — and Wayne brings the commentary only a dad can. 🎙 HOW THIS EPISODE WORKS: Robert Plank's show interviews Reena → Wayne listens and weighs in → Reena adds a custom BCD intro 🔑 WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE: • What shaped Reena's storytelling instincts — and where the Better Call Daddy concept actually came from • Why vulnerability is the non-negotiable ingredient in any interview that sticks • Blending education with entertainment — lessons from 1,000+ interviews on Robert's end • How to research guests, find your voice, and actually connect with your audience • The evolution of Better Call Daddy — from concept to community • Networking, relationship-building, and why the conversations you have off-mic matter just as much ⏱ TIMESTAMPS: (00:00) Reena's custom intro for the BCD audience (05:15) Robert's background and how he got to 1,000+ interviews (15:30) Making podcasts fun without sacrificing substance (25:00) Reena's time in entertainment and what it taught her (35:45) Practical advice for aspiring podcasters (45:00) Wayne weighs in — dad's take on the whole thing 🔗 CONNECT WITH ROBERT PLANK: https://robertplank.com/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH REENA FRIEDMAN WATTS: Website | LinkedIn | Instagram | YouTube
