Guest Brief

Welcome to the Design Discipline podcast hosted by Mehmet Aydın Baytaş.

Schedule your recording

A short private intro call before the podcast, to get acquainted and check our technical setup, really increases the quality of the episode. (We can skip this if you have podcasting experience and/or we are sufficiently acquainted.)

The recording takes 60 to 90 minutes.
I am in Sweden, in the Central European Standard Time zone.
I try to have nothing scheduled after our session and can continue indefinitely (e.g. if we enjoy talking and want to keep going, or have technical issues that burn time).

Do not use a wireless microphone, especially AirPods. A good external microphone is best, but Mac microphones will do.
We will use Riverside as the recording platform. You will receive a link to the Riverside space when you book your recording.

This is a video podcast, published on Substack, podcasts and YouTube.
Feel free to swear, rant, go off-topic, reveal trade secrets, ask questions, talk about private things... We can remove these afterwards. But we cannot add anything new.
Please tell stories! We do talk about abstract ideas, but I will often ask for stories that happened to you or people you know, to illustrate the ideas.
We edit to keep episodes as short as possible. We remove “umm” sounds, repetitions, etc., while still maintaining natural conversation. We aim to make you sound smart, and keep our audience listening.
By participating as a guest on Design Discipline, you agree to waive your right to review or approve the final cut prior to publication. If you have any specific special requests or requirements, please let us know before, during, or right after the recording, and we will do our best. We always aim to make you and the conversation look great.
