How to create an interview podcast

Prepare the interview

Three months before

• Contact the Researcher(s), schedule a few possible dates
• Contact the filming crew (Media Production Unit or other: Oxford Media Factory or Angel Sharp)
• Book room and interviewer
• Outline the interview

One week before

• Pre-podcast meeting: discuss the outline with the interviewee, explain the process, dry run

Filming & Editing podcasts

Before the interview

• Check the PI's titles, title of the talk, funding bodies (email sponsors for permission to use their logo - save emails)
• Prepare opening and closing slide(s) (size 1600 x 900 px) with high-definition logos; leave a white border around the slide

During the interview

• Take lots of notes! Questions that were repeated, which take is the best, any background noises, where to add slides
• Anyone featured in films will need to sign a consent form, downloadable from the University photography and GDPR toolkit

After the interview

• Send notes to the editor: what to keep and what to drop, in which order
• Check slides & additional footage/videos and where to add them
