Once contacted, if the interviewee agrees, the following steps will be taken:
-
We'll get a date scheduled that will work for both of us.
-
Over the next couple weeks after agreeing to the talk, a series of questions will be prepared and shown to the interviewee. This won't be a strict guideline or the exact questions to be asked, but will serve as a way to give the interviewee a general sense of what types of questions will be asked. Most of the time follow-ups and related questions to what are listed are free-game. This is also a great time of the interviewee to mention anything they may not want to speak about.
-
Leading up to the talk an avatar will be created of the interview similar to the ones used for everyone on the site to ensure everything looks good together.
-
The interview itself will be conducted via squadcast, which is (browser based) tool that ensures your audio is first recorded locally and then stored rather than streamed to a tool like Zoom and then captured. This gives me two separate audio tracks which is much easier to edit.
-
After the stream the recordings will be edited and put up to be distributed to all your favorite podcast platforms!
-
Following the release of the episode there will be a comment section on each page hopefully allowing for some conversation about your episode!
