Show Format
While we are working on direct television,
such as Skype, at present here is what we require of a guest:
- A 15 to 30 minute Video or excerpt on
DVD
- Book/DVD Cover 72 dpi, 500-650 pixels
W X 300-400 pixels H, jpg
- 6-8 .jpg photos of guest(s)

action shots
An Interview may also be live in the studio (in
which case no photos are required) or by
phone, and may also be pre-recorded.
While we may focus on a particular subject, the topics are usually connected to the guest,
although the program has also featured unknown guests with a
specific
topic. Intuition plays a big role in selection
