Essential Ingredients Podcast

Start with a conversation.

The exploratory call comes first. Once you have spoken with Justine and are invited to continue, use this one application for editorial review, production planning, your social-ready media package, and the podcast guest agreement.

Required first step

Book the exploratory call before applying.

Please complete this 15-minute call with Justine before submitting a guest application. The Zoom details are included in the Calendly confirmation. The call is for prospective podcast guests to discuss fit and next steps; it does not guarantee an interview or publication.

For confirmed guests

Already invited to record?

After your exploratory call, use this calendar only once Justine or the team has confirmed your invitation and you have submitted your guest application and agreement. This is the recording calendar, not the introductory call. Your Riverside details come with the Calendly confirmation.

Products, books, and samples

If the conversation involves a product, book, or physical sample, tell us what you plan to send so Justine can have it in hand before recording. All shipments come to Justine. We never publish a shipping address; after your email is confirmed and your application is accepted, Justine or Bonnie will reply privately with the appropriate address when needed.

I can join a video interview using Riverside from a laptop with a camera, stable internet, clear audio, a quiet location, and an uncluttered background. I will keep the recording window open until the upload completes.
