## Resource

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…
