In Moderation
Interview and moderation training for podcasters, panel hosts, and executives
+1 more
Great interviews rarely happen by accident. In Moderation is a self-paced course that teaches the frameworks and techniques Kanika Chadda Gupta developed over two decades as a CNN anchor and correspondent, adapted for podcast hosts, panel moderators, and anyone who leads conversations for a living.
The course covers how to prepare for a conversation, structure it for maximum impact, ask better questions, and build real rapport with a guest in the moment — plus how to manage a room during a live panel or fireside chat. It's built for people without a media background who still want to book strong guests, grow their audience through guest referrals, and come across as a polished, memorable host.
Outcomes
- Book higher-profile guests with more confidence
- Grow your audience through guest referrals
- Command paid moderation opportunities
- Lead any panel or fireside chat smoothly
- Become a more memorable, polished interviewer
