Creating Collaborative Montage Content with Multiple Guests: Behind the Scenes on a Season of our Podcast

In this special episode of The Creator Toolbox, we dive into the craft of producing highly polished, montage or documentary content. That means one or more episodes with narration, clips from multiple interviews, music and FX, all aimed at creating a way-above-average listening and viewing experience.

We'll share our experience in creating a podcast series in this way, but it applies to multi-interview YouTube episodes just as well.

We cover everything from setting up interviews with expert podcasters to editing multiple voices into a cohesive narrative, unpacking the strategies behind our latest (20th!) season of PodCraft.

We’ll walk you through how we source high-quality guests, create seamless transitions with narration, and blend in the perfect soundtrack. Whether you’re a podcaster, YouTuber, or content creator, these tips will help you elevate your production skills and streamline your workflow.

Join us as we show you how to turn a series of interviews into a compelling season of audio storytelling.
