You’re joining us already!
We’re excited to have you join us! We record our show using
a common multiplayer chat tool called Mumble, we generally have a chatty
atmosphere to introduce the cast and discuss what we’ve been playing before we
drop into our guest interview.
We prefer you being available around 15 minutes before we start, as
microphone checks (volume levels) and just making you comfortable with us tends
to make a better atmosphere. Mumble uses a username and access control list
system to allow us to promote our guests to speakers ‐ if you have an
often‐used nickname, make us aware so we can get you all sorted beforehand.
We like to prepare a runsheet ahead of time, on our shared Google Doc and we
usually give you access to this days before the recording - we welcome you
adding things you’d like to discuss about your game, or about us/Linux gaming!
- and our live listeners also have access while we’re recording so they can see
URLs and possibly share related information as we talk.
You’re encouraged to mention your game/games/website/twitter, and we're
always happy to respond to questions that you might have!
After the conversation portion is complete, we like to record goodbyes even
if you’re staying around for the rest of the recording—but don’t feel you have
to, we understand your time is important—just to improve the cast edit.
We’d like to collect a headshot/avatar (say, your twitter/steam profile
picture) to use in our notes, and we will contact you a few days after the
recording with a live link of the cast.
Here are some helpful URLs and don't be afraid to reach out and ask
questions if you have any!
