Does FAQ stand for Frequently Asked Questions? Yes. Yes It Does.
If you've ever been interested in both TV and the internet, chances are you've already crossed paths with Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, and David T. Cole: they co-founded the recap site Television Without Pity (RIP), and have been co-hosting the Extra Hot Great podcast since 2013.
Check if your candidate episode has already been done on the Canon list.
Please record in a quiet room with windows closed and fans off. Wait 10-15 seconds before you start talking in your record while quiet and still. This let's us capture "room tone" and helps us clean up the audio if needed.
The exercise is NOT to recap the episode but to explain why it is Canon/Nonac worthy. Please don't spend 80% of your time recapping.
Being concise and keeping it in the neighborhood of under eight minutes after clips is always appreciated.
We encourage you to use audio clips in your pitch, but unless you absolutely know what the heck you are doing, we'll do the audio capture based our your time codes. In your submission, just say "clip X here."
For clip times, please put them in the submissions form in this format:
Clip 1: 8:32-9:04 "Hello, I am hungry…" to [Slamming of door]
Check if your candidate episode has already been done on the Tiny Canon list.
Please record in a quiet room with windows closed and fans off. Wait 10-15 seconds before you start talking in your record while quiet and still. This let's us capture "room tone" and helps us clean up the audio if needed.
Make sure you clearly present the category of the Tiny Canon like The Cold Open Tiny Canon or The Died Real Good Tiny Canon.
You can start a new Tiny Canon category.
Being concise and keeping it in the neighborhood of under 5 minutes after clips is always appreciated.

Though it depends on the type of game — we generally aim for 24 to 36 questions plus a tiebreaker.
Please submit your game as a Google Sheet when possible.
If you have an idea but need help fleshing it out, contact Dave at david@cole.fyi and he'll make arrangements to get the @EHGAssist team to help out.
You know how Dave is dumb? If you are feeling nice, you could add phonetics for tricky names in your doc.
Titles of Game Times are on episodes pages but listener Erica also complied a Google Sheet for reference (thanks Erica!)
If you have an idea but want to pass it by Dave first he's at david@cole.fyi. (You don't have to though!)
Other segments you can contribute to include: I Am Not A Crackpot, Will Dave Hate This, and anything else you want to send our way for the show.
Having audio from users is great, but we'll also accept text for our smaller segments.
If you still have questions please email Dave at david@cole.fyi and he'll be happy to help out!
