Thank you for agreeing to take part in the Accord Mortgages Growth Series Podcast. Below you will find all of the relevant information you need to be set up and ready to record. At the bottom of the page you can book a test with our podcast producer to run through your audio set up and to make sure it works correctly.
The Growth Series podcast is recorded over the internet using a software called Zencastr. This works in the same way a VOIP internet call would work and allows everyone to be in the same virtual room and talk to each other.
A link to access the recording room will be sent to you in the briefing document before the date of the podcast recording.
Laptop or computer (preferably reliable and updated to latest version of Windows or Mac OS)
Microphone (USB or Aux jack) - It's also fine to use the microphone built into your headphones, for example a pair of 'Apple' headphones. As a last resort we can use the microphone built into your laptop but this isn't ideal and could affect quality.
Headphones - It's preferable that you use headphones when recording the podcast so feedback isn't picked up from your computer / laptop speakers. However if you can't get hold of a pair then as a last resort we can record without headphones as long as the quality of the recording isn't affected.
Stable internet connection - As we are recording over the internet, having a stable preferably high speed internet connection is beneficial. If you can, try and connect directly to your router rather than using WIFI.
If you work on a secure VPN or other network while working remotely from your office, you will need to disable this as it conflicts with Zencastr. Please consult with your IT team if you are unsure on how to turn off your VPN.
You are encouraged to book a test with our podcast producer before the date of the podcast. He will run through your audio set up and make sure it's in full working order. Use the calendar below to book a time slot.
