How important are the conversation prompts in an interview-styled podcast?

That depends on the format of your podcast. If the flow and atmospherics are more closely associated with the informality of a group or conversation like a "That 70's Show" basement, or the unfortunate spin-off into the 90's, then maybe planned prompts aren't as important.
 
For conversations with out Contributors though, the prompts keep us more on track. Think of it like this. We have roles and identities in life. Not to read as too metaphysical here but, the roles that we fill are not our identities. When discussing the impact of values and character development with a given industry on #TransactingValuePodcast, we try to focus perspective to emanate from our identities - who we are as people; what creates our character. The power dynamic in comparison is that often as humans our conversations naturally seem to flow along with the current of the roles that we fill.
 
I am the host of a podcast; a Marine; a father; an athlete; a Millennial; etc. Those could be my roles; some are also how I choose to identify socially, like within this post. But between the roles and identities that we occupy throughout our lives there always has to be a conscious effort to focus or appropriate our experience and perspective towards relevance and impact. On our podcast, Contributors and I rely on unscripted prompts for big talk, relevance, and quality conversation within a 30-40 minute window of opportunity to exchange value.
 
However you view the importance of conversational prompts, join us every Monday at 9 AM on #TransactingValuePodcast where perspective meets value.

I spent decades lost, confused and overwhelmed trying to figure out how to integrate into society and within my sphere of influence. I grew up in a split household.

I got bullied and learned material that I’ve since forgotten, or learned more about people than academics. I joined the Marine Corps, and became a divorced, long-distanced father. Even when I was physically present, I spent more time staring at walls and listening to my own demons more than growing with my son.

I’m learning increased physical distance does not have to decrease capable influence. I’m learning who I am among some of the most knuckle-dragging, supportive bunch of people that I’d stand by any day of the week.

It may feel like you’re going through life alone; you’re not. We’re all growing through life together, skull-dragging one day at a time and getting stronger for it.
