Yes. We normally begin with a 30-minute introductory or chemistry call to understand your expertise, confirm audience fit and discuss the production process. The call is not recorded as an episode.
Are CX Insider podcast interviews scripted?+

Can podcast episodes be recorded remotely?+
Yes. CX Insider can record remotely or in person. Where practical, we also offer a professional studio setup in London; the best format depends on location, production requirements and the agreed campaign.
How long does a CX Insider recording take?+
Allow approximately 90 minutes for a full video recording session, subject to the episode plan and setup. The initial chemistry call is typically 30 minutes. The team will confirm timings ahead of filming.

Yes. The production process includes a review stage and guest approval before publishing. Editorial planning and the review timetable are agreed as part of the campaign.
What happens after my sponsored episode is published?+
CX Insider publishes the episode and deploys the promotional content specified in your package. Depending on the tier, this can include short clips, social posts, quote graphics, story content, a website article and paid promotion. Campaign lengths range from one to four weeks for the standard full-episode packages.
