Thank you for considering my invitation to participate as a guest in the Amuseum Podcast.

About the Project

The Amuseum is a series of research-based multi-media projects. This project, ‘Incantations’ looks at material evidence of the practices of magic over time and across cultures. It follows the question ‘how have we defined, witchcraft, magic, and religion’  

The research project will be published online for the public at TheAmuseum.ca.

The Interview Process:

This is what you can expect from the interview process:

  • Ideally, I like to schedule a brief zoom-call so we can connect and meet each other. This meeting is also a chance for you to ask any questions about the production before you commit. If possible, please use the same device and setup you plan to use for the interview—this helps ensure we can capture a clean, usable recording in.
 
  • After this meeting I will send a release form that you will need to sign granting me permission to use our recording in the podcast and in the multi-media essay, as well as clips for promotional purposes. I am happy to provide clips for use on your web-site or social page also.
 
  • I can provide examples of the questions I will ask in advance but my preference is to follow the conversation. 
 
  • The interview will take place over Zoom. My preference is to record video as well as audio as I would like to include the video in an experimental multi-media essay I am creating. However, if you are uncomfortable on video, the audio interview is the most important component to me.
 
  • I will send a simple and brief guide to help you prepare for the interview. Good sound and video help us make the most of your contribution. 

 

  • An Interview typically takes 45 min. – 1 hour. I am happy to record longer if needed or desired.
 
  • If any part of our conversation touches on sensitive topics, please let me know during or after the interview if you’d like something treated with discretion. I will do my best to be respectful of context, tone, and nuance.
 
  • I aim to complete post-production of the interview within 3 weeks, though publication will be scheduled within the context of the project. You’ll receive an update once your episode is ready to preview and again when it is published.
 
  • After you receive the preview link you can let me know if there are any factual errors or issues with how I have presented our conversation. I retain full editorial control over the work, but I value collaboration and your input. I want to create the best work possible, so if you have feedback, please feel free to share it.
 
  • I am happy to provide clips for your own usage, please credit the podcast so others can find my work.
