-f(t + \Delta t, \mathbf{x} + \Delta \mathbf{x}, \mathbf{v} + \Delta \mathbf{v}) = f(t, \mathbf{x}, \mathbf{v}) + \left( \frac{\partial f}{\partial t} \right)_{\text{coll}}

-Δt, Δx, and Δv represent small changes in time, position, and velocity.

-(∂t/∂f)coll is the change in f due to collisions.

-
-- "u" represents the velocity field of the fluid.
-
-- "t" is time, representing the temporal dimension over which the fluid's behavior is analyzed.
-
-- "rho (ρ)" is the fluid density.
-
-- "p" is the pressure field within the fluid.
-
-- "nabla p (▽p)" represents the gradient of the pressure field.
-
-- ""nabla squared u (▽²u)" is the Laplacian of the velocity field.
-
-- "f" represents external forces acting on the fluid.

+# Welcome to Data Skeptic
+
+Thank you for coming on the Data Skeptic podcast! We appreciate your time and strive to make our interviews as low-stress as possible. We use [Riverside](https://riverside.fm/) virtual studio software to locally record podcast audio. Prior to your interview, you will be provided a link to join our virtual studio via your web browser. We only record audio, but use webcams during the interview to facilitate conversation. Riverside supports [Chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome/) and [Edge](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge) web browsers and has standalone apps for [IoS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/riverside-record-podcasts/id1554443872) and [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=riverside.fm&pli=1). Other web browsers or uncommon operating systems may cause issues during the recording session. 
+
+The best sound quality comes from using a standalone microphone with headphones. However, your onboard microphone will work just fine! To improve sound quality, choose a quiet room with carpet, curtains, and other sound absorbing surfaces. Limit foot traffic into the room where you are interviewing. If this is not possible, that’s totally fine! We understand that not everyone has access to an ideal recording space. 
+
+If you are part of a group interview with your colleagues, make sure each person logs on to Riverside using their own device in separate rooms.
+
+For more information, please see Riverside’s [instructions for guests.](https://support.riverside.fm/hc/en-us/articles/5252042203037-Join-a-Studio-as-a-Guest)

+## Interview Checklist
+
+
+1. Computer running Chrome or Edge or tablet running Riverside app.
+2. Webcam and microphone
+3. Headphones
+4. Quiet space separate from others
+5. Good internet connection
