Mic Check: Your Podcast Survival Guide
Hey you! Yep, you—if you’re here, that means you’re about to jump on the Cuerated Podcast. First: thank you. Second: buckle up. This guide’s your cheat code for what to expect, how to prep, and why it’s gonna be wild, messy, and somehow totally magic. No scripts, no rules—just vibes.
What’s the vibe?

Casual AF: No scripts, no awkward Q&A vibes. Just real talk. Be yourself, say what you think, go off on tangents—we love it.
Guiding questions: We’ll drop a list of topics ahead of time. Use ’em, ignore ’em, remix ’em. Your call.

How long will we talk?
Usually 45–60 minutes, but if you’re on a time crunch, we can flex. Conversation > clock.

Quiet zone: Dogs, traffic, construction—try to keep it minimal.
