Information for podcast guests.
Hello and thank you so much for being a guest on the Animal Training Academy podcast show.
I can’t wait to connect with you “in person.”
The show has been running now since January 2016. It has an international audience of people who work with animals including zoo keepers, pet owners, people in the veterinarian industry and more. Its intention is to disseminate information on best practice animal training and behavior management.
To do the podcast recording we will use something called Zencastr.
On the day I will set up the recording and send you a link (if I haven’t already sent it ahead of time) … you will then simply click on the link and you will be able to join the recording. You will need to be on a computer to use Zencastr and preferably using the google chrome browser [although it will also work with the Firefox browser, google chrome is preferred).

A couple of things you will need for the recording are 1) a microphone … most people don’t have a professional microphone and so if we can’t get a hold of one what can work well is a set of earphones with the mic in the cord (see picture). If you don’t have any mic at all we have used computer/phone mic’s before successfully so we will make it work. 2) it is preferable to use a headset or earphones.
To record, we need a nice quiet place where you are comfortable and can minimize movement during the recording. Other background noises to be conscious of are … other people moving around, animals in the background, dogs barking, birds chirping etc, traffic sounds from nearby roads and weather … all things to take into consideration on the day.
Let me know if you have any questions about any of that … otherwise, I’ll do my Buddhist chants on the day to rid ourselves off any and all technical gremlins and we will be full steam ahead … 🙂
Super pumped to be doing this with you and can’t wait to talk soon
Best Regards
