Everything You Need to Know Before Recording

We’re thrilled to have you join us on I Live Here Media! This podcast is all about sharing real stories from people shaping life in Westchester—and your voice is an important part of that.

The Format

This is a relaxed, conversational interview—think of it as a meaningful chat, not a media blitz.

• Length: 20–30 minutes (we record for about 40)

• Style: Warm, informal, and story-driven

• Published As: Audio-only podcast

• Bonus: We record video too—just for short promo clips on social

The Setup

All recordings are done virtually using Riverside.fm. No download needed—just click the link we send.

To make sure you sound and look your best:

• Mic: Apple earbuds work fine; a quality mic is even better

• Camera: Required (just for video snippets—not the full episode)

• Quiet Space: Please find a calm, distraction-free spot

• Strong Wi-Fi: Wired or high-speed internet is ideal

Interview Questions

We’ll work with you ahead of time to finalize interview questions. These are built around your story and what matters to you—so you feel confident and ready when we hit “record.”
