Exactly when can listeners begin to hear my call?
I call in 15 min before the scheduled start time of my call to open the chat and start posting. I have my interview guest call in 5 min early to make sure we're ready for the call.
Can listeners also get in "early" and hear what I'm saying to my guest?
How do I know when the show is really "live" and how do I know exactly how much time is left before the end of the call?
I've used other online radio platforms that alert me (privately, via audio) when my show is about to start and when I have 60 secs left. do you do this? How?

Inappropriate?Here's a description of how the TalkShoe system works:
Your call goes "live" 15 minutes before the scheduled start time. We call this the "pre-show" period. You (host) and anyone else can call in once it's live. Everyone who has called in can hear everyone else. Consider whether to set you call for "mute on entry" to prevent people from talking even before you arrive.
As soon as the host calls in, audio streaming starts to the chat clients (TalkShoe Live). At this point, TalkShoe Live listeners/chatters can hear anyone unmuted on the phone bridge.
Recording of the call starts when the host issues the start recording command (manual setting) or when the host calls in (automatic setting). You can start recording whenever you want to; you need not wait for the official start time.
Regardless of scheduled length, the recording can run for 5 hours, and the call can run for 24 hours.
The host can end recording whenever desired. The audio conference continues thereafter. We call this the "post-show" period.
Audio streaming (to the chat clients) continues even after recording ends; until the last caller hangs up. As such, we recommend that the host use the red Call Termination button to end the call before hanging up. That way, there in not an open call left unmanaged.
Since you can choose when to start and end recording, the TalkShoe system provides no call start or call end cues.
