HOW TO DO A 2X2
Find someone to interview.
Use the Substack app to Go Live. (Both people need to be on the app at the same time.)
One person goes live — use the Orange Plus Sign Button and pick Go Live — and you will be prompted to Title the interview and INVITE people to join.
Invite your interview buddy to join.
Once both of you are on and you can see/hear each other, press the LIVE button. This will alert all your followers, so you might want a pre-question as people join.
Ask each other two questions, swapping back and forth.
When done, hit END button in the upper right corner.
Soon after you finish, both people in the interview will get the replay in the DRAFTS section of your dashboard. Turn the draft into a post to share with everyone (and tag
, so Ann can add your interview to the above list.)When posting, also select it as a PODCAST so it will allow the video and audio to be viewed/listened to within your post. This is useful when the video doesn’t work. The audio work independently.
Have fun!
