Podcast Interview Tips

To make sure the recording goes smoothly, here are a few tips.

1. Recording details

The session will be recorded in both video and audio formats.

We will be using Riverside.

2. Timing

Please join the link 5 minutes before the scheduled start time (as noted in your calendar invite) so we can do a quick tech check and ensure everything runs smoothly.

3. Inclusivity

If you require any specific accommodations or adjustments to support your participation (whether related to accessibility, language, or comfort) please let us know. We are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all our guests.

4. Before the interview

  • Find a quiet, well-lit space and close windows/doors to reduce background noise.
  • Sit comfortably, a chair or relaxed spot works well.
  • Join from a Chrome or Edge browser on a desktop or use the mobile app if joining by phone.
  • If possible, connect and use an external microphone.
  • Wear headphones to help prevent audio feedback.

5. During the interview

  • Try to speak clearly and calmly.
  • There is no need to worry about mistakes. If you stumble or want to rephrase something, just pause and start again.
  • Questions are prepared for you. But this is your story, so you won't be interrupted too much and can freely speak.
  • There will be plenty of opportunity to improvise or expand on any topic. This is meant to be a natural and engaging conversation. Please do not write down your answers.
  • The interview will be in English, just so you are aware.

6. After the interview

  • Stay in the Riverside room until the upload finishes. If you need to leave, keep the browser tab open so your recording can keep uploading in the background. Don't close the window until Riverside confirms it's done.
  • Send us a short bio and high resolution portrait photo.
