PERFORMING GUEST GUIDELINES

(For artists performing music live on the show)

 

Overview of the Show

YenYorkCity Live is a casual, live podcast that runs up to 2 hours and is broken into loosely guided segments. While we prepare questions, the show is conversational and built around natural discussion.

The show is broadcast live, with recordings before and after the live segment for members-only content.

 

Live Performance Requirements

Performing guests are expected to play 2–3 songs live during the episode.

Performance flow:

• Opening song: Played immediately after your introduction

• Mid-show song: Played between discussion segments

• Closing song: Played at the end of the show to transition into the raid

Important notes:

• Songs must be original material or copyright-free covers

• We must have the right to broadcast the music live

• After the final song, there is no additional conversation, but please remain on the call until we give you a proper send-off

Music & Signal Chain Information (Required)

To ensure audio quality, performing guests must submit:
