Caregiving Radio

Radio Guest Protocol

Welcome to “Caregiving 101!” Our goal is to help you promote your business, ministry or books and we take that very seriously. The following are a few guidelines for you to assure your interview will be of the highest quality.

Pre–appearance:

As soon as you have been selected to appear on our show, please email us the following:

• Your bio
• If you are an author, a synopsis to your book. If you have not written one, send a one–page description of the book, highlighting why you wrote it, what it is about, what problem it addresses and how your book solves the problem, who your main audience is and where it is available. Include the link to your website.
• If you are not an author but provide a specific service for caregivers or their elderly loved ones, send a bulleted list that contains the name of your business or medical service, the link to your business, your contact information, how you can help family caregivers.
• Everyone needs to send us a list of 7 to 10 questions.
• If you are an author, we need 2 books to review and give–away on the air to our listeners. We need time to read your book, so please send them as soon as your date has been set.
• If you have a humorous caregiving story or several, we would like you to share them on the air with our listeners. Our last segment is called “The Lighter Side of Caregiving/It’s okay to laugh!” The segment lasts 9 minutes and we always offer our guests extra time on the air to make a lasting impression on our listeners’ minds by making them laugh just before we close the show. We have found that authors sell more books and the traffic of a wide variety of businesses/ministries increased significantly when our guests shared their anecdotes, so we want to give you this opportunity. If you can participate, please send us an email listing how many short stories you have and their approximate verbal length.

Before the day of the show:

• Email us the phone number you want Starr to use to call you the morning of the interview. If at all possible use a land-line.

The day of the show:

• If you are going to be using your cell for the call, be prepared to not answer any calls that come in during the show. Make sure your cell is fully charged the night before and has been updated by your provider to assure that the call isn’t dropped during the interview.
• While you are on the air, locate yourself in a quiet room, free from all distractions.
• Be prepared to stay with us on the phone the entire hour.
• Starr will call you at the number you give her.
• We are in Central Standard Time, so she will call you at 7:59am OUR TIME.
