Guest Guide
Points to Note:
We typically record on a Monday afternoon British time.
We use Riverside software. Nick will send you a specific link to our studio on Riverside. Guests join the online studio at around 1430. You will sit in a “lobby” until Nick let’s you in. Hopefully the wait won’t be too long!
Chrome is the best browser to use. If you use Apple hardware, there is a slight nano-second delay in you hearing other people. It’s annoying at first but we all adapt to it.
When you are waiting in the “lobby” you can’t hear what we are saying (Riverside’s choice, not ours).
You are joining the “Meat & Potatoes” segment of the show, where we typically chew the fat over one particular issue or angle in financial services.
It lasts around 30-40 minutes. At the end, we say goodbye and you click “Leave” at bottom right on the screen. Please keep the Riverside browser open until your upload hits 100%.
We are relaxed about the odd “f-bomb” being dropped. Obviously no slanderous comments please!
Any questions, email or WA Nick on UK +7714 767064.
essentials:
If you have something to promote, please send Nick an email with the details well in advance of the recording date
Bear in mind that TRAP is both an audio and video production. Please have:
a decent microphone, either standalone or a lapel mic;
in-ear headphones. Standard PC speakers can potentially echo back into your microphone in a loop of audio doom;
proper lighting or at least sympathetic natural light. We don’t want you in front of a bright window as just a weird silhouette from some crime program.
