Bulletin to ThinkTech Hosts - Late Information and Cancellations

Dear ThinkTech Hosts:

If you are running late on show information, please let us know so we can plan accordingly.

If you or your guest cannot make it, please consider and plan for these other options:

1. You can have other hosts and/or guests ready as backups.
2. You can do a solo show, preferably with slides or other graphics.
3. You can pre-record a show on your own Zoom account. Let us know if you are interested in this option, so we can send you instructions on how to do this.
4. You can ask other hosts to join you for a show. They are included in this email.

If you do end up cancelling, let us know ASAP. We will play an episode from our selection of encore presentations. It will not be a rerun of your show.

Please understand that (a) we much prefer to broadcast live shows, not reruns, and (b) if you cancel a show on short notice, it creates a problem for us because we can’t set up an alternative live show on short notice.

Thanks so much for your kokua on these things. If you have any questions, you can contact Hayley at hayley@thinktechhawaii.com.

Bulletin to ThinkTech Hosts - Episode Titles and Taglines

Dear ThinkTech Hosts:

We'd like to further improve titles and taglines by decluttering them and making sure that they are written clearly on all of our platforms. So starting this week, we are no longer accepting periods (except for abbreviations) and the following characters in those fields.

;  ?  !  &  @  $  #  (  )  [  ]  {  }  <  >  /  \  ^  *  ~

Instead, you can use colons, commas, hyphens and dashes. You can still word your title or tagline as a question without punctuation. This new rule does not apply to affiliations, other host and guest information, the discussion contemplated and the takeaway contemplated.

Thank you so much for your cooperation. If you have any questions, you can contact Hayley at hayley@thinktechhawaii.com.
