A: Yes! When you schedule your session, you can add on up to an hour of time (in half-hour intervals) for an additional fee.
Q: We want to bring props for the shelves in our background. Can you store them so we don’t need to bring them every session?
A: Sure. We keep each show’s props (depending on size and quantity) in a special area so we can have everything set up when you arrive.
Q: What is included in a session? And can I record multiple episodes of my podcast in one session?
A: A sessions starts when you enter the studio and ends when you leave. While the session time is 90 minutes, you can record up to an hour. This gives most groups ample time to prep guests and discuss content before recording, or take pictures after. Each session is intended for a single episode of your podcast. You can book multiple sessions during the scheduling process.
Q: Can I / Should I arrive early for my session?
A: We request that you arrive on time for your session, not early. If you come early, you risk interrupting another podcaster’s show.
Q: Do you have a “ready room” where we can prep for our show or prep guests?
A: We do. Prep in our “green room” setting area with high-speed Internet, comfy chairs, a 4-person conference table, computer, a printer and whiteboard. Plus, you’ll find all the “little things” you might need, such as tissue, breath mints, cloth wipes, mirrors, Post-It® notes and more. Restrooms are located one floor below.
