About Chris
Chris Davis is a podcast host. Before podcasting, Chris spent years in teaching, which is where the habits behind a good interview were formed: preparing properly, asking clear questions, and helping someone explain a big idea so a listener can follow it.
Today Chris hosts and produces interview podcasts as a freelancer, working with guests on both sides of the microphone. At Author Talking, Chris writes our guides and brings a host's view to every one of them: what makes a pitch worth answering, what makes a guest easy to interview, and what makes an episode worth finishing.
Chris's guides are written for nonfiction authors and new podcasters who want practical steps rather than theory.
Areas of expertise
- Interview hosting
- Guest preparation
- Episode structure
- Explaining complex ideas simply
- Nonfiction author interviews
How Chris writes our guides
- Advice comes from hosting and preparing real interviews.
- Facts, prices and platform rules are checked against their original source before publishing.
- Examples are labelled as examples, never presented as client stories.
Every guide is reviewed before publishing. See our editorial standards.
