WHY THEM
Andy Lassner suits Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard listeners now with a fit of 95% on Qloo's audience data, and both audiences love Engaging conversations. Fans also lean toward listeners 55 and older more than the show's listeners do, which makes an episode on candid, unscripted talk a natural fit.
THE ANGLE
An behind-the-scenes look at building hit unscripted shows and why the best conversations come from letting guests get loose and candid.
QUESTIONS
- What does a good unscripted conversation need before the cameras or microphones start rolling?
- How do you make a guest feel relaxed enough to say things they had not planned to say?
- When a conversation drifts away from the plan, how do you decide whether to follow it or steer it back?
- Which moments from your work do you think best show what a candid, unscripted talk can do?
- What do you think audiences value most in a conversation that feels real rather than rehearsed?
THE PITCH
SUBJECT
Invitation: Andy Lassner on Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Hello, I host Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, and I would love to invite Andy Lassner to the show. Our listeners care a great deal about engaging conversation, and we think Andy Lassner would bring that to the table. The episode I have in mind is a behind-the-scenes talk about building hit unscripted shows and why the best conversations come from letting guests get loose and candid. We would focus on the ideas and craft behind that approach, and keep the conversation relaxed and open. Would Andy Lassner be open to recording an episode in the coming weeks? I am happy to work around your schedule and can share a short outline of the questions beforehand. Thank you for considering it. I look forward to hearing from you. Warm regards, The Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard team
