Welcome to Show Business!

Thank you so much for agreeing to be a guest on our podcast! Here are a few guidelines for you to prepare for your interview. 

• Just think of this as a conversation with a friend rather than an interview. If a topic reminds you of a story, tell the story! Podcasts can have detours — that’s what typically makes them compelling.

• It’s a recording, it’s not live. So if you stumble over words you can always pause and just start again. But in general, don’t aim for the perfect answer. Just be natural.

• Unless you have been otherwise instructed, please block off an hour for the session. The actual recording will likely be 35 to 50 minutes.

  IF IT IS A ZOOM SESSION:

  • Please be at your device shortly before the interview using the Zoom link provided in your email.

  • Sound quality matters! If you have a mic, plug it in. If you are willing to invest about $50-$75 for a mic, here are two that work GREAT with links to purchase: 1. Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB Cardioid Dynamic Microphone; 2) Samson Q2U USB/XLR Dynamic Microphone Recording and Podcasting Pack

  • If you don’t have a mic, it is preferred that you use wired Apple earbuds (which have a mic embedded in the wire) or AirPods.

  • Please position yourself in as quiet of an environment as possible.

  • Please be aware that we may indeed post the video of the show on YouTube and/or use brief video segments recorded on Zoom to promote the show.

  IF YOU ARE JOINING US IN STUDIO:

  • POD617 studios are located at 745 High St., Westwood, MA, #201. NOTE: Please use the entrance adjacent to the Citizens Bank ATM.

  • Arrive on time, but don’t bother to be early. There may be a session finishing up prior to yours.

Please contact David Yas with any questions.
