Want to be on the show?Reach out. Let us know.Check out the Episode List for an idea of when your episode would air.


Here are some considerations for your being on the show:

  • Make sure you have a good mic - We want you to come off as a really likable creator and audio quality plays a huge part in that!

  • Find a quiet environment - similar to your mic, having a loud A/C or screaming children don't make for the best podcasting experience. Things happen, of course, but mitigate what you can.

  • We're a video podcast - look your best! We're all for virtual backgrounds (we use them ourselves), but it helps if you have even lighting so the tool doesn't cut you out of the screen.

  • We are not a live podcast. We'll work with you as to when you can expect to hear (and see) yourself online. This also allows us to create 2-3 episodes out of your appearance!

  • We use streamyard for our video conferencing - It's super easy to use and we'll give you some time to get setup before we record.

  • Leave around 2 hours to record - We try to make the most of your time. In those two hours, we'll get enough for those 2-3 episodes.

  • We're making a comic page together! We'll come up with prompts live - which none of us have seen before.

  • If we do put together a print book down the road, we'll send you copies to sell or share with friends and family.

  • Most of all, this is all in good fun!
