Lex Noteboom of The Deca Tapes (Part 2)
05/31/19 • 52 min
We’re picking up part two of an audio documentary about an audio drama. Lex Noteboom is an independent podcast creator from Amsterdam. He’s the creator of an audio drama called The Deca Tapes. It’s a sci-fi-ish dystopian-future mystery show. In March of 2018, Lex quit his job and spent a year writing, directing and producing the podcast.
In this second part of the story, we follow Lex’s process week by week as he works to build an audience for The Deca Tapes. Evan interviewed Lex before, during and after the release of all eight episodes, following his process for about 10 weeks. Listen for a break down of six things that Lex did to promote the show and hear the result of his work.
The Question
Same as the first part: How do you build an audience for a creative work?
We talked with some other podcasters to tell this story. Indie podcast supporter, Zach Auld of a show called Podcast Junkie and podcasting veteran, Evo Terra. While we’re talking with a lot of podcasters, these principles can be applied to just about any other kind of creative endeavor.
This episode was created and produced by Evan MacDonald. Edited by Evan with some help from John M. Craig, our associate producer. Sound design, music, and scoring by Evan MacDonald.
