The Goal:
Tell good stories that you’d want to listen to. We’re not looking for a scoop or anything like that. The whole show is about talking about positive and cool things. That’s it. No hidden agenda.
Logistics:
- The interview will be via Skype and audio only (for now). You will get a call from evadot_com at the interview time.
- You do not need a professional audio/video setup (of course if you do, congratulations – it should work even better). But if you don’t, you’ll need:
- USB headset: Something like a Plantronics .audio 655 USB Headset. They run about US$30. You can use a bluetooth system, but wired is more reliable. Something like the Sennheiser PC 7 also works well. Have a gaming headset (check with your neighborhood teenager)? They work GREAT for this!
- Please do not use the built-in laptop microphone if at all possible. This is only for use if we have exhausted all other options.
- Borrow a headset if you have to, it really makes a difference. Put yourself in the audience’s shoes. Clarity will help them pay attention to what you say. And we want them to pay attention to you.
- Test your setup. Do a skype call with a friend or even us. You’ll be glad to know everything is working ahead of time so you can concentrate on having fun.
Guest rules:
- Have fun! This is conversational and humor is welcome.
- Stay focused, stay engaged… no multitasking
- Sound is important. Control background noise, fans, crowds, driving, typing… please be in a quiet place.
- Try to speak clearly and at an easy pace.
