Dear ThinkTech Hosts:
For this week's Host Bulletin, we'd like to review things you should do to improve your shows.
Phones
Be ready to get on your phone and call the Zoom audio connection numbers (these numbers are on the link email we sent you) if there are connectivity or audio issues. Also, make sure to send us the cell numbers for your guests. They will be critical if there are connectivity tissues with your guests.
Episode Titles
Make sure your episode titles and tagline are clear and accurately describe the discussion you contemplate on the show. Make them short and catchy, using the kinds of words that will attract viewers for the live show and later when they search for keywords on demand.
Starting the Show
After the engineer counts down, make sure you start speaking right away to engage and hold your viewers. You need to be energetic and accurately state your name, the name of the series, the episode, the guests and the topic right away. It helps to count in your head along with the engineer. We want to avoid "deer in the headlights" confusion moments when you start the show.
Disparagement
Avoid disparaging comments and invasions of privacy on your shows, and discourage your guests from going so. Don't make harmful statements about someone that you know or should know are false. Stick to the facts. If you are going to make an opinion, say that it’s your opinion. Don’t do name calling. Err on the side of caution. Note that public figures, to make a claim, have to show that you acted with malice and knew that your statements were false or that you spoke in reckless disregard for the truth.
Thank you so much for your cooperation. If you have any questions, you can contact Hayley at hayley@thinktechhawaii.com.
