Final Step - Schedule Your Show!

Show Recording Guidelines (Please Read So Your Recording is Not Cancelled)

1. Be sure to block your schedule for 60 minutes once your date/time has been confirmed.

We will use the first 10 minutes to make sure the video, audio, and lighting are good to go. We will use this time to “shape the show” so we have a smooth conversation that highlights your expertise.

2. Be in a quiet room/location

This is a video and audio podcast. Great audio is absolutely essential to the success of your episode. Listeners can tolerate sub-par video quality but will not tolerate poor audio.

Here’s how to make sure your audio is great.

• IMPORTANT: We will no longer allow recordings from a computer’s input audio. We require that you use an external microphone or a high-quality headset. You can get one from $30-$130.
• Please note: We currently record using Riverside.fm. However, we do not allow the use of their mobile app for guest recordings as it is currently unstable.
• For the video, please use your computer/laptop with a web/external camera and an external microphone.
• For the video, please make sure you are well lit. This means light is facing you. Natural daylight works great.
• Might be obvious but will say it anyway…if you are in your car, restaurant, hotel lobby, airport, or outside in open air, the producers of the show will cancel the recording.

3. If we encounter any unexpected noise, internet connection, or wifi interruptions, we’ll handle them accordingly and do our best to sort these out.

4. If you are using an older computer and the webcam video quality is not that good, I’d recommend getting this web camera. If you’re security conscious, then this webcam provides a security lens.

5. Lastly, please send 2-4 professional HEADSHOTS for our team to use for promotional purposes on our website and social media for your episode. We will not search the internet and social channels to find something to work with.
