How to Land a Talk Radio Interview - with broadcaster Lisa Brandt

Speaking of Media ....with Keith Marnoch

Have you ever wondered what it takes to become a guest on a radio talk show?
Have you been tasked with placing a guest on radio? How do you go about doing it? And what is the true value of being on the radio for you and your organization?
Elements included in this episode:
*The importance of storytelling and why it should be uppermost in a communicator’s mind.
*Making sure that you or the person you are supporting is well prepared for a radio interview. *Getting onto mainstream media is not beyond your ability; however, you need to know:
- which outlets that will reach your intended audience most directly.
- how to pitch and secure the interview.
*Know who produces the radio show you are pursuing and how they consider guests.
*Ensure you are demonstrating your story’s newsworthiness.
*If you can relate your specific story to a larger theme in the current news cycle – that’s even better
