Set up and preparation

Thank you for scheduling a time to appear on The Art of Allowance Podcast! Everything you need to know to have a successful appearance is below.

Before the day of:

  • Please email us a headshot and your bio to podcast-guest@snigglezoo.com).
  • Sign the podcast release we email to you directly.
  • Our discussion should be no more than one hour. Please leave a buffer of 15 minutes on either end just in case we encounter technical difficulties. Please also let me know if you have a hard out time-wise.
  • We will record audio and video. Please see the information below to ensure the best recording quality.
  • I may email you a question or two I’d like you to consider beforehand. Please see below for the “Fast & Fun Round” questions I ask all of my guests so you can prepare for those.

The day of:

  • Plug into ethernet if possible or be in a place with fast WiFi.
  • Plug in headphones with a microphone or use headphones and a good microphone.
  • Be in a quiet place.
  • Have a glass of water nearby.
  • Silence smartphone notifications.

We will record audio and video on Riverside.fm:

  • Click here to access the Riverside.fm studio link for Guests. This link should also have arrived with the invitation you received from Calendly when you booked your time.
  • Riverside records the interview locally, so glitches should not appear in the final video and audio (even if the real-time video isn’t “prime time” quality). Please stay on after the interview is over until we give you the “all clear” that Riverside has completed the interview upload.

Fast & Fun Round Questions I Ask All My Guests:

  • What does the term “money empowered” mean to you?
  • What’s the best investment of time or money you’ve ever spent on your kids?
  • What advice to your kids do you most hope that they’ll heed?
  • If you could transmit a message that everyone would see, what would it say?
  • What’s the one parenting and/or money smarts book that you go back to or that you gift most often?

Video & Audio Setup for Remote Recording: MINIMUM

Audio: Wear Earphones/headphones with mic close to your mouth (preferred) OR apple AirPods.

Video: Set up somewhere with a clean, professional background. Make sure you aren’t backlit. Contact me if you would like to run an AV test.

Video & Audio Setup for Remote Recording: IDEAL

Use headphones to reduce sound bleed.

Video: If you have a great video setup, use that including great lighting, good camera, and a great background. Contact us if you’d like to run a technical test beforehand.

OPTIONAL: After the recording

If you have any preferred personal links to share (such as Instagram over Twitter) let us know.

If you want to listen to the podcast before it is published, we can send it over after the first edit, but our turnaround can be fast, so we ask that you listen as soon as possible. Unless otherwise stated, we will assume you do not want to listen before the podcast goes live.
