FAQ
Q: Where can I download and listen to the Creative Coasts podcast?
A: The Creative Coasts podcast is available for free with subscription and download on iTunes, SoundCloud and Stitcher.
You also can subscribe to the podcast in any podcatcher by using the Subscribe button at the bottom of the bottom of this page, or directly via our SoundCloud RSS feed (just copy the link into your favorite podcatcher). You can also listen on our SoundCloud web page here: https://soundcloud.com/creativecoasts.
Q: What do I need to have to be interviewed on your podcast?
A: A computer with an Internet connection and a clear sounding microphone. It might be possible for you to do that with an app on your phone/tablet or by connecting with a standard phone call. In any case, the microphone, whether on your computer or phone (or using a wired/Bluetooth one), should be of sufficient quality for you to be heard clearly, and you should be in a quiet place during the interview.
Our preferred method of remote connection is a professional web based high quality recording service, which is the most simple to use for everyone with only a web link needed that we’ll send you. Less preferred but workable options are Skype, or phone conversation via Zoom. We will establish together the most mutually workable logistics when we are making overall arrangements with you for your interview and web page.
Q: How do I get scheduled for a podcast interview?
A: Before we’ll consider you as a guest on our podcast, you need to have a completed project to discuss. If you’re a creative writer, your project doesn’t necessarily have to be accepted for publication; if you’re a musician, you don’t have to have a recording deal. In fact, your project might be a community event, a class you taught, or something totally fresh that doesn’t fit into an existing category. Bottom line: You just have to have something complete. We’re going to talk about your creative process, so having that single special project is our one big requirement. Email us with your project/works description and contact info, and we will discuss details and arrangements.
Q: Would you host my content on your website?
A: Never as dedicated storage. If you’re selected as a podcast guest, we’ll have a description of your project on a page highlighting you and your work. On that page we’ll link to your website | portfolio | writings | photos | tracks or other relevant material that you have hosted elsewhere, as well as any of our own podcast episodes, publications, or audio books related to you.
