Create a podcast that already exist (Call Her Daddy) with two females - one is Alex Cooper (she is the host, it is her podcast) and a guest speaker is emma chamberlain to address her recent controversy, which is that Emma has a celebrity on her podcast who then gets caught in political crossfire (e.g. Brooke Schofield). People attack her for not screening her candidates appropriately and criticise her podcast. The episode itself goes viral and fans unfollow her podcast and her. Alex needs to ask her this questions. Emma will reespond the answers. Emma will be thankful for this opportunity: Why did you not screen the candidate appropriately? Our reason for choosing this question: This question highlights that there was a mistake in how the guest was chosen, giving Emma a chance to explain what went wrong and how she's planning to fix it. This shows she knows it was her responsibility and is taking action to avoid it in the future. Answer: I take full responsibility for this. I didn’t properly research this guest before having them on the podcast which was a mistake. It’s my job to ensure that everyone who comes on the show aligns with the values I want to represent. I should’ve done more research and been more cautious and I deeply regret not doing so. Do you share the same beliefs as this person? Our reason for choosing this question: This is a direct way to clear up any concerns that Emma might personally agree with the guest's controversial views. It gives her the chance to clarify her own values and distance herself from any opinions she doesn’t share. Answer: No, I do not share their beliefs. Having someone on the podcast doesn’t mean I agree with everything they stand for and I want to make that clear. I never intended to support or endorse their controversial views, but I can see how having them on the show might give that impression. I want to make sure my values are always clear to my audience. What’s the relationship between you two now? Our reason for choosing this question: This question helps clear up any confusion about whether Emma is still personally connected to the guest or if she continues to associate with them. It helps reassure her audience that there’s no ongoing relationship. Answer: There is no relationship beyond the podcast interview. We don’t stay in touch and also, I don’t have any personal connection with them. It was simply a conversation for the podcast and nothing beyond that. How can you ensure this won’t happen again? Our reason for choosing this question: The audience needs to know that Emma is taking steps to make sure this doesn’t happen in the future again (or a similar “mistake”). This question gives her the chance to explain how she plans to improve her guest choosing process, showing that she’s taking the right actions to rebuild trust with her fans. Answer: I’m learning from this, and I’m making changes to how I approach the guest selection process. I’ve already begun to consult with people who can help me navigate these decisions better and be more informed and also, I will be more personally involved in this process. I’m committed to doing better. Why should listeners continue listening to your podcast/supporting you? Our reason for choosing this question: This question allows Emma to remind her audience about the original purpose of the podcast and why they should still be excited to tune in. It's her chance to show that she’s taking responsibility and is committed to creating content that aligns with her listeners’ expectations. Answer: I don’t take your trust lightly, and I’m fully aware of how this mistake might make you feel. I get it - this situation isn’t easy for anyone. It’s a big disappointment. But the reason I started this podcast was to create a space where we could have open, honest conversations and learn from one another. I’m still committed to that vision, and I’m using this moment as an opportunity to grow and improve. I’m dedicated to earning back your trust. I truly hope you’ll continue to be part of this journey with me. I know it will take time. Overall tone of answering these questions should be: Empathetic to show genuine understanding of the audience’s disappointment or hurt Accountable by taking full responsibility without making excuses Transparent with being open about what happened and what is planned to do moving forward Optimistic in the sense of emphasizing her commitment to growth and improvement, focusing on rebuilding trust
