Is the show audio or video?
The primary medium of the show is audio, although we do chop up the video portion of the interview into social posts and educational videos. If possible, please try to have your webcam on and a professional video setting. If you can’t do video though, no worries. We can still run with just audio for the interview.
How to prepare for your interview:
1) Use your computer - Please use your computer for recording, not your phone. This will ensure we have the best quality possible.
2) Google Chrome is preferred - If possible, please have Google Chrome open during the interview. This enables us to record an audio backup of the interview. If you don’t have Google Chrome, it is ok, but it is preferred if possible.
3) Remove distractions - Please be in a quiet place and turn off any cell phones or notifications.
4) Audio Quality - Please use the best microphone you have available. If you do not have a microphone then use at minimum a pair of earbuds or a headset. This ensures the best audio quality for the listener.
