My team and I handpick our podcast guests from a pool of exceptional leaders who are in the trenches doing the work, and not just on the talk show circuit. These tend to be from districts that face similar challenges as our best customers.

1. Pre-production- 30min call on Google Meet to develop episode Content​

2. Recording- 60min on Squadcast, video and audio​

3. Editing- This usually takes between 4-6 weeks. ​​

4. Publication- On Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube and most podcast players. One episode per week will be selected for an article feature.

We help school districts to connect instructional, non-instructional, and culture & climate data to improve decision making and program impact evaluation, especially around MTSS and student achievement.

Introductions & your contact details

• How would you like to be introduced?

• Is there a media sheet with your profile picture and bio that you’d like to use for promotion? [Please send it to me to incorporate into our materials]

• Where can someone find you if they’d like to learn more?

Equipment

• Make sure you are accessing Squadcast via a compatible device

• For the best audio and video quality, an external camera and mic are preferred.

• Generally, phone microphones (iPhone or Android) are spectacular, and you don’t need special equipment

• If you’re using a wired headset: we’ll do a sound test to ensure it picks up your voice well

• If you’re using AirPods on the iPhone: switch to Voice Isolation mode to improve noise cancelling

Environment

Try to take the call from a quiet environment with minimal background sounds and where you’re unlikely to be disturbed for the duration of the call.
