So you weave that through the program. matched

You make references to things you have said or are going to say. matched

You talk about things that are coming up. matched

Just make people still be there. matched

If you actually listen to a 28-minute and 45-minute matched

second episode of Marketplace, which is how much time we have. matched

My total content on days that don't have a lot of interviews and me content, my total contribution is three and a half, maybe four minutes in 30 second chunks, setting up our reporters, right? matched

So my job is to make those reporters stories sing and to make people at the end of my 30 second introduction say, oh wait, now I want to hear this story and make them hang around for another three minutes and 30 seconds or whatever it is. matched

And so that's sort of what I do. matched

Because if you give it away, then what are you even doing? matched

So first of all, just on my own personal experience and for those out there who wind up doing a lot of introductions, don't read somebody's CV out loud. matched

Find something personal, find an anecdote, find something that's going to make it stick. matched

That's the only thing I can say. matched

Make it relevant to the people that matched

to whom this person is going to be speaking, right? matched

Introduce them, make them make friends, you know, in as short a period as you have to do it, because that's what you have to do. matched

And when I'm setting up an interview, it's me and this person for the next four minutes, and the audience has to be there. matched

And if you don't have the audience with you, then you failed, honestly, right? matched
