**CALL FOR CREATIVE GUEST HOSTS | BYOC PODCAST** Pull up a chair. Let's talk about something real. **BYOC (Bring Your Own Chair)** is seeking dynamic, authentic, and expressive creatives across New York City to join our circle as featured guest hosts. Produced under **UTV**, *BYOC* is an intimate, fast-paced, 15-minute video podcast built on genuine dialogue, spontaneous energy, and physical presence. Every episode unfolds in a completely new environment—from hidden architectural gems and community lounges to open outdoor spaces across the five boroughs. No static desks or manufactured talking points. We pull up our chairs, unpack real questions, and leave whatever we were carrying behind us. --- **The Mission & The Premise** *BYOC* exists at the intersection of candid conversation, style, and creative release. Hosted by Joa Luna, each episode is structured around a single core question (e.g., *"Can movement heal what words can't?" or "Why do we wait to celebrate until we're successful?"*). As a guest host, you are not simply an interviewee waiting for questions—you are sharing the floor, shaping the narrative, and co-piloting the room in real time. --- **What You Will Do on Set** * **The Fashion Entrance (OOTD):** Every episode opens with your arrival. You will make a distinct visual statement, pulling up to the location and showcasing your fit of the day before unfolding your chair into the space (if the shoot is outside; indoor shoots have chairs provided). Style and visual expression are baked directly into the show's DNA. * **The Live Conversation:** Sit down, tap into the question of the day, and dive straight into an unfiltered, unscripted 5-to-10-minute dialogue. We skip small talk to focus on healing, growth, craft, identity, and perspective. * **The "Chair Check" & Challenge:** During our signature pivot, you will participate in the "Chair Check" to co-create a tangible, real-world action or weekly challenge that our audience can practice at home. * **THE Takeaway:** During the segment, you will participate in summarizing the episode by delivering concrete takeaways towards the audience. * **The Creative Collaborative Outro:** The show concludes with expressive movement or art that reflects the episode's theme. Depending on your discipline and the topic, you will collaborate with the hosts on a final release segment—whether that means breaking out into dance, trading verses, live sketching, acting, crafting, or dynamic vocal work. --- **Guest Host Requirements & Logistics** * **Location Flexibility:** Production takes place on location—both indoors or outdoors—throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. You must have the ability and willingness to travel across the five boroughs on the day of shooting. * **Discipline:** Open to multidisciplinary artists, designers, dancers, writers, vocalists, community leaders, and visionaries comfortable performing and speaking on camera without a script. * **Compensation:** This is a collaborative platform designed for artist visibility, cross-pollination, and portfolio content. **Travel expenses to and from the shoot location will be reimbursed. (Up to 25 dollars if by car/Up to 10 dollars by transportation)** --- **How to Apply** Send an email with the subject line: **"BYOC Guest Host — [Your Name]"**. Include the following: * A brief intro (who you are, your creative disciplines, and where you're based in NYC). * Links to your portfolio, Instagram, TikTok, or past on-camera work. * A snapshot or short video showing your personal style/aesthetic. * One thought-provoking question or topic you would bring to the chair. There is always room in the circle. Bring your own chair (BYOC), bring your voice, and bring your vision.
