Where have Sarah and Lindsay been? Get ready for a quick update from ADWIT. Sarah brings you a helpful and less unwieldy than usual podcast conference for Audio Drama creatives, on the 4th of November. Meanwhile, the 11th Hour Audio Challenge casts a long dark shadow over Lindsay. Get ready for stories to chill your bones on 30th October.
What can we do for you, as podcasters? What do you need from a podcast about how to make audio drama and fiction podcasts? Coming soon: The ADWIT Survey, with fabulous* prizes for a few randomly selected respondents. Or, if you can’t wait that long to tell us what you want from this podcast, write to us at [email protected].
Plus, a few listening recommendations for podcasts outside the “full cast” stereotype, and a writing exercise based on sound cues.
*for certain values of "fabulous."
