Training: Pass the mic – plan, create and launch your own podcast – 19 April

Join us for a half-day workshop and 1 hour 1-2-1 with podcast executive producer Christopher Phin

19 April, 9.30am-1.30pm GMT, with 1 hour 1-2-1 follow up at a time convenient to you

About the course

You shouldn’t have a podcast “because everyone has a podcast”, but there are countless reasons you should add one to your publishing mix: they turn fans into friends, find new audiences, and deepen the duration and quality of the engagement with an existing audience – and all for an investment in time and kit that’s dwarfed by the money so many sank into the ill-fated pivot to video.

Plus, whisper it, they can actually make money.

In this half-day course, you’ll get an overview in how to plan, record, edit and distribute your podcast to an eager public, and you’ll also get a 1-2-1, hour-long follow-up with the trainer to review your own podcast launch or development plans.

You’ll see how achievable a podcast is, and skip ahead in your podcasting journey, avoiding the common rookie mistakes.

About your trainer

Christopher Phin has worked in publishing his whole career, and in 2019 started the podcasting channel at DC Thomson, ultimately creating a folio of more than a dozen shows.
