Preparing for your interview
About the show
The show is usually about 20-25 minutes long. Your interview may run a little under or over this.
The recording is audio-only without video. This is done to approximate the way the listener will experience the episode as much as possible.
You will receive a set of proposed questions via email at least 2-3 weeks ahead of your interview. You can use this to review or suggest changes.
Questions? Need to Reschedule?
No problem! Just send us an email at contact@theagilebrand.show and we’ll coordinate with you.
Recording tips
If possible, record in a quiet space with daylight or with a lamp in front of you. The strongest light source should be in front of you, not behind you.
Turn off all notifications on your cellphone, iPad, Surface, Watch etc...
Try to stay still in your chair with your feet planted. Avoid moving things around on your desk. If you print your notes on paper, move them around as silently as possible too.
If possible, use a computer with Google Chrome
Your Computer
Use a computer with the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser that is up-to-date.
Temporarily turn off any VPNs, browser extensions, content blockers, or firewalls.
Ensure a stable internet connection. You can test it here.
Temporarily turn off your computer's screensaver or its sleep mode setting.
During the recording, close other browser tabs and applications, especially any that require a lot of your computer's processing power or that use your microphone or camera.
Close applications that make sounds, such as Email, Slack, Teams, LinkedIn, Facebook and others that make noises when there is a notification
Audio & Video
Wear headphones to prevent echo and increase overall audio quality.
Use an external microphone rather than your device's built-in mic. We recommend a wired microphone. However, a wireless microphone or a microphone built into wired headphones is also suitable.
Remember, the closer you are to the mic, the louder your voice will sound.
Before recording, check and adjust your micophone sensitivity settings.
After the recording
