Thank you for sharing your story on the Caring For Strangers Podcast

Here are a few things to prepare for our conversation for a smooth experience and recording.

REMOTE RECORDINGS: You will join our recording room here:

Make sure you have the following:

• A recent version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Opera

• A strong internet connection. If possible, connect to your router with an ethernet cable instead of using WiFi.

• We recommend wearing wired headphones to prevent audio echoes.

Close other applications running on your computer.

VPN: Temporarily turn off any VPNs, browser extensions, content blockers, or firewalls that may interfere with the recording process.

Audio: Please try to find a quiet environment to hold your interview. USB microphones are helpful if you have one.

Camera & Lighting:

• Try finding some window light to illuminate you from the front/side.

• Avoid bright lighting from behind you.

• Find a setting that is clean and free from distractions.

• Ensure your computer or camera is at eye-level.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Streamyard will be uploading the recording from a temporary file saved on your computer. It is important to allow that recording to fully upload at the end of our session so please allow for an extra 5-10 minutes past our interview period before closing the browser.
