WHAT TO EXPECT

  1. The Set Up
  2. Guests will be sent a link to Riverside.fm Podcast suite where, at the scheduled time of the they can simply select " Join a Podcast"  and then enter a podcast ID.  This will get you into the Remote Podcast Studio. 
  3. The Podcast will be recorded and edited before it get published. There is no live broadcasting.  A link to the completed podcast will be shared with the guest before distribution to the most common podcast platforms.
  4. The interview is expected to take between 30 minutes and 45 minutes. 
  5. The gust can join via a computer with microphone and web camera or via a smartphone using the built in camera and microphone.   While we cam enhance the sound quality in after production a good microphone and camera will make it easier.



2. The Interview

  1. Once the guest has joined we will be testing the sound and video recording. This process will only take a few minutes.  After that we start the recording.
  2. We will begin with a short introduction of the guest ( guest is asked to provide a short introduction which will be used to introduce the guest.
  3. The host will then segue from the introduction to the main topic of the podcast series.
  4. To avoid a "staged" or "disingenuous" feel of the podcast we will not provide the exact questions for you to avoid prepared answers. The danger with sharing the questions is that guests tend to over-prepare and write enough notes that they can read from them, and the conversation becomes stilted as a result.  However, prior to the scheduled recoding time we will provide topic outlines of the topics we expect to cover. 
  5. If if there are any questions guests can't or won't answer during the interview, that's fine. They are also welcome to prompt me to ask a question differently—or tell me on-air why it's a bad question. Sometimes that makes great content, and a great avenue of conversation can come from it!"    Also remember that this is not live and will be edited before shared.
