What to Expect

The Unstarving Musician is strictly a one-on-one interview style show. Episode interviews are recorded using audio only.

The Interview

Most questions you’ll be asked are intended to provide useful information to independent musicians. I don’t send out a list of questions before interviews, but I promise there will be no gotcha questions.

Headshot

Please provide a high resolution headshot that we can use with our episode artwork.

Sound Quality

Hands-free is not ideal. Plan on using a recording quality microphone and headphones or earbuds. If you don’t have an external mic, but want to up your game, here’s an affordable option.

Please be in a room that has minimal sound reflection (i.e. echo). The ideal room is also free of distraction and background noise.

It’s recommended that you close all apps not being used for the purpose of our call.

Remember to set your mobile devices to focus / do-not-disturb mode.

Production Time

I’m fortunate to often have a healthy backlog of booked and prerecorded interviews. This means that episodes are in our production queue for an average of 2 to 6 weeks.

I look forward to our chat.
