Introduction
One of the highlights of 2017 was when I was invited to be interviewed on the Air It Out Show. What a surprise! I did not seek this out. It was explained to me that this visual experience would be great for me and my brand. I was interviewed on December 16, 2017.
I have known about and have tuned in to the Air It Out Show for many years. It has evolved to its present form, broadcast live on Saturdays, 11am – noon ET, via DTF Radio (actually a visual experience, not just audio). Recordings (archives) of the original live episodes reside on the DTF Radio Ustream Site.
The Air It Out Show
The Air it Out Show is much more than the DTF Radio show where #creatives are interviewed about their projects. Air It Out Show LLC is a company that promotes entrepreneurs, business owners, and entertainers. It also accepts sponsorships. Check it out at http://airitoutshow.com.
The DTF Radio studio is located in Brooklyn, NY, in an old building that used to be a warehouse or factory, converted into space for businesses and residences. The studio itself is quite small. Which surprised me – looks bigger when viewing the show online. Four individuals make up the Air It Out Squad: Lorene Martinique (AKA Kotten Kandy), Staxx Cordero (AKA Pink Pantha), Stephen Edwards (AKA Illflo), and Ramon Jimenez (AKA DJ Top 10).
A few weeks prior to my appearance, I provided information about me and my preferred topics of discussion. This served two purposes: to aid in the Air It Out Show using social media to promoting my upcoming appearance; and giving the interviewers bullet points to drive the discussion. I brought with me copious notes for reference if necessary during the interview. I studied these notes very hard.
There are microphone setups used by the interviewers and the guests. There is one stationary camera for the live DTF Radio feed and a monitor. There is a setup where DJ Top 10 spins music before the first guest and between guests. The day I was there, Kotten and Staxx were the interviewers. Illflo was also recording the show for eventual archiving separate from the DTF Radio archive..

Now it was my turn. See my entire interview starting at approximately the 36-minute mark of the show. Highlights:

- Discussed the Internet Movie database (IMDb) and the importance of ensuring one’s work in movies and TV is accurately and completely represented. One of the things I do is maintain IMDb pages.
- Discussed my blog Support Our #creatives, an entertainment blog, where I document my own experiences and the experiences of others I have connected with, and document different aspects of the entertainment industry.

Conclusion
Both Natural and I were Airrrrrred Out! That means we have let people know about us.
Fantastic meeting Natural and the entire Air It Out Squad in person.
Appearing on the Air It Out Show definitely took me out of my comfort zone, considering my aversion to audio and video (that may change after this experience). The questions that steered the discussion put me at ease in what was my very first formal interview regarding my entertainment-related activities.
This was an excellent opportunity to promote my brand Support Our #creatives and increase my visibility. I really appreciate the show reaching out to me – it shows people ARE paying attention to what I am doing on social media, my blog, and otherwise realizing my passion. I am now an Air It Out Show Alum and look forward to being on again. Especially since there is so much more I can talk about.
