Be a Guest on The Monitor Tapes
Show Summary
The Monitor Tapes is always looking for guests. The show is a conversation between DC Dave, Doug Adamson, and a guest talking about some aspect of Crisis on Infinite Earths. We would like you to be familiar with some part of the Crisis – whether you read it 40 years ago, or just last week. Or maybe you know all about the CW or animated versions.
What’s important is that you have a passion for some part of the Crisis, and that you want to talk about it! This is a conversation amongst friends. You don’t have to gush; but you do have to be interested in what you want talk about.

Technology Expectations
This is pretty easy to handle. Just have a quiet place to record and a decent microphone and headphones. It can be as simple as a “gamer” headphone/mic combo. Nothing fancy or expensive. But you do want headphones so our audio doesn’t come over your microphone.
DC Dave and Doug like being on camera when we’re talking, but you are under no obligation to do so. While we love seeing your smiling face, if you would prefer to stay faceless, that’s fine as well.
We utilize Zoom to meet and record the conversation. We also do local backups while we’re talking. If you want to record your own vocals, you’re welcome to do so, but not required.
