What is Lounging with LannaLee?

Lounging with LannaLee, adventures in conversation, is a weekly audio podcast, a digital intellectual salon, that’s a face-to-face, half-hour conversation between LannaLee (me) and a fascinating person. You, perhaps?! Guests are passionate musicians, activists, geeks, nerds, actors, writers, artists, and business professionals.

Who is LannaLee?

I’m a podcaster, actor, humorist as well as an award-winning balloon twister, clown and speaker. [More info here.]

What will we talk about?

If I contact you to arrange a conversation I will tell you why you were chosen. It might be because I want to get to know you better, or because you do a cool thing I like, or because you make me laugh out loud, or any combination of things. I am most interested in talking about your passions, whatever they may be.

Our goal: to have a lively and interesting conversation.

I have an anything goes policy for my podcasts. We will talk about whatever you want to and feel comfortable talking about, including your life, career, family, spiritual life (or lack thereof).

Also note: if you have something to plug, whether it’s a book, a blog, music, art, by all means, you are welcome to do so.

How long will it take?

The conversation itself will take around 30 minutes, however, I would count on the whole process taking up to one hour.

Where will the interview occur?

To record I use a portable recording device, (the Zoom H2 Handy Portable Stereo Recorder), so we could hold the chat anywhere. I’ve recorded podcasts in my home office, in my van, at a friend’s apartment. A small room is best, but not absolutely necessary.

What will happen the day of the interview?

We will spend around 15 minutes discussing what we will talk about. Then we will record the chat. Once the chat is over, we might have someone take our picture together and do a short promo video for the podcast.

Why should you do this?

First of all, you will have fun. Your participation in the show contributes to the advancement of the art of conversation. You will have fun. And, when the episode airs, you will have something special with your friends, your colleagues and your audience. Did I mention: FUN?!

When will my podcast be published?

Because this is a weekly show, I will be recording conversations weeks and months ahead of time. I will contact you one to two weeks before your episode plays.

Where will my podcast be published?

All episodes will be posted here on lannalee.com [and available on iTunes].
