Session Guidelines

  • This isn’t a typical interview, so I won’t have preset questions — please come prepared with a story (or stories).

  • Sessions are relaxed: we’ll chat first, then you can dive in when ready.

  • “Road stories” can be from tours, work, travel, or vacations.

  • Focus on specific events, not general career overviews — personal experiences are best.

  • I edit for audio and narrative flow, so don’t worry about mistakes.

  • Notes are fine, but please don’t read from a script.

    Here's a list of story prompts to help jog the memory.

Technical Details

  • Use a computer with headphones and the latest version of Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge as your browser.

  • We’ll record on Riverside FM (online recording platform) — the session link is in your email and calendar invite.

  • Audio-only podcast: I don’t record the video, so no need to dress up.

  • Best to record in a quiet, small room (avoid large empty spaces) — no pets, loud appliances, or open windows.

  • Use the best mic you have (studio or stage mics preferred) and always wear headphones.

  • No computer? Download the Riverside FM app to your phone and place your phone close-ish to your head (don’t hold it).

  • When it’s time for your session, just click your link and follow the prompts.

  • Questions or issues? Just reach out — can’t wait to hear your stories!
