We’re excited to have you!
4 STEPS TO A SUCCESSFUL PODCAST
Headphones
We request all guests to record with headphones, and if possible, we highly recommend headphones with built-in microphones. This allows the highest quality audio to be recorded.
Microphone
Sometimes the built-in microphone for your headphones can rub against long hair, clothing, or earrings. If this is the case, please put your hair back or behind your ear to avoid this. This especially happens when you move around a lot when talking. Try to stay steady to help avoid audio issues.
Devices
Ideally, we would prefer all guests to use a laptop or desktop computer to record. But if you don’t have access to one, that’s alright, an iPhone or Android will work fine as well. If you plan to use your phone, download the Riverside.fm app, and make sure to have a stand so that your phone is steady and at eye level. Please use an up to date version of the Google Chrome Browser if using a computer.
Uploading
Once the recording begins, there will be a small progress bar showing the status of how much of your audio and video has been uploaded. Make sure 100% of the recording is uploaded before you close out of the window, tab, or riverside.fm app you are using to record.
