When you're in a TV studio doing an interview, or you're with a radio talk show host, and the production crew puts that mic on you, nothing you say is off record. When they ask for a mic check, don’t say something in jest that you don’t want shared beyond the studio. They can use anything you say. When you do media interviews, assume the microphone is always on. #mediainterviews #radiointerviews #tvinterviews
