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) 72 dpi, 500-650 pixels W X 300-400 pixels H, with a few 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


 

Guest/Topic Selection

Here are some of the methods of guest and topic selection we use:

  • Virato's known acquaintances
  • Publisher/Publicist contacts
  • Internet info
  • Letters/books, e-mail to our office
  • News stories, magazine articles, etc.
  • Listener and guest suggestions
  • Messages from Divine source
                 (should really be #1
    )
