Our episodes are pre-recorded. The recording sessions generally last about one hour, and then are edited for time, quality, etc., as needed. (Don't worry—we'll make you sound good!) As a result, your entire conversation with our hosts may not be included in the final episode.

To ensure the highest quality recordings, guests are strongly encouraged to use studio-quality microphones, and to record from quiet, insulated rooms (e.g. carpeted floors).

To ensure the highest quality recording, guests are required to use headphones that hardwire directly into your computer (no Bluetooth, air pods, or other wireless devices).

While our podcast is audio-only, we do record via a virtual video platform so we can see each other.

Guests play a crucial role in helping to grow our audience, and we want to help you expand your portfolio, too! As such, we ask all of our guests to subscribe to/follow the podcast on Apple Podcasts and/or Spotify, and to follow/like us on social media. We will, in turn, promote you on our website indefinitely, plus tag you in social media posts related to your specific episodes.
