We require a noise-canceling USB headset. We do not allow using a built-in laptop microphone, AirPods, Bluetooth headset, etc. We recommend a stereo headset with two earcups to help eliminate echo. This type of headset ensures a high-quality recording, which is critical for a successful podcast episode. Following are a few of our recommendations:
This has been the top-selling USB headset on Amazon for many years and offers exceptionally high sound quality and is cost-effective. It works with both Windows and Mac (MacBooks require a USB-C adapter).
This is another excellent alternative if you prefer a lighter headset with inline controls from the Plantronics brand.

We start recording immediately following the Part 1 Pre-Recording discussion. The recording lasts 30 to 90 minutes, and we break for a commercial every 15 to 20 minutes.
What do all great interviews have in common?
The best shows sound like natural, friendly conversations between friends.
What topics can or should we focus on during the call?
Talk about whichever topics you are most interested in and knowledgeable about related to M&A. There are no limits to what you can discuss as long as it relates directly or indirectly to M&A. We suggest focusing the episode on one specific topic, such as private equity vs. venture capital, instead of the broad topic of private equity. A focused topic will help increase listenership.
Does it cost anything to participate?
No.

When will the recorded sessions become available on the website?
We publish the sessions within 60 to 90 days of the recording date. We notify you by email once your episode goes live.
How do you recommend I prepare for the interview?
This should be a natural conversation about a topic you are already well-versed in. No preparation is required beyond obtaining a USB headset, being in a quiet environment, focused, and ready to discuss your area of expertise.
Can I suggest questions to include in the interview?
Yes, we welcome your input. You will have an opportunity to offer questions to discuss before recording the episode.
