Before you record for your podcast, make sure you’ve got everything you need. That should include:

• [ ] A phone or recording device

• [ ] If you’re using a microphone that requires batteries, bring extras.

• [ ] If you’re recording sounds on your phone, bring a charger.

• [ ] Headphones You’ll want to be wearing these as you record.

• [ ] Interview questions

• [ ] List of sounds to record It’s okay if you don’t get all of these sounds and great if you get even more. This list should help guide you.

• [ ] Notebook and writing utensil/laptop You or a teammate should quietly take brief notes during an interview or while recording sound, to remember specific moments or points you’d like to return to later.
