[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Create a pre-recording checklist for my setup: [SETUP_DESCRIPTION] (such as USB microphone, laptop, remote guest on video call, or camera and lights). Software: [SOFTWARE]. Location: [ROOM_DESCRIPTION]. Return a checklist in four timed groups with boxes: 24 HOURS BEFORE: guest confirmation with time zone, link tested, outline sent, release or consent form, storage space, software updates installed and postponed. 1 HOUR BEFORE: room (noise sources off, phone on silent, notifications off), microphone position, headphones, levels test, backup recording started, lighting and framing for video, water, notes. DURING: slate or clap for sync, name and date spoken on tape, monitor levels, note timestamps for good or problematic moments, ask guest to wait a few seconds after questions. AFTER: back up files in two places, label files with show, episode, and date, send thanks to guest, note any retakes needed. Add troubleshooting for echo, hum, remote lag, and dropped connection, and a quick test script (30 seconds) to check audio quality. Remind me to get recording consent in writing for guests and to follow local recording laws [VERIFY]. Treat the output as a draft, not legal or compliance advice. Have a qualified professional who knows [JURISDICTION] verify any legal, regulatory, consent or contractual point before you rely on or publish it.
