Welcome to the Conversation

We’re so glad you’ve agreed to join us. This is not a performance—this is a conversation. Our podcast is about sharing real stories, honest reflections, and personal truths in a casual, low-pressure environment. You don’t have to be polished, perfect, or eloquent. Just be you.

All episodes are edited, and if you ever say something you’re not comfortable sharing publicly, just let us know—we’ll happily edit it out. Our goal is to make you feel safe, seen, and respected at every step.

Before we begin please send me an email to polysocal@gmail.com and answer these question as they matter to you:

1. Is there any topic we should not talk about, or a subject to avoid
2. Is there any topic want talk about
3. Give me some quesitons i NEED to ask you, so that you can tell your story.
4. Please tell me a cool/fun thing I can know about you so that i can bring it up.

Getting Set Up for the Call

You can join us via phone or web video. Here’s how to prepare so we can capture your story clearly:

If joining by video (Zoom or Riverside.fm):

  • Find a quiet, private space with minimal background noise.
  • Use headphones with a microphone if possible (AirPods, wired earbuds, or USB mic are all great).
  • Good lighting helps! Face a window or lamp if you’re on video.
  • Mute notifications to minimize distractions.

If joining by phone:

  • Use a headset or earbuds for clearer audio.
  • Be somewhere quiet where you won’t be interrupted.
  • Turn off call waiting or switch to Do Not Disturb.

And remember: this is about real connection, not production quality. We’ll guide you through it gently.
