Sounds like Europe, cross-border podcasting

The first co-production of the WePod project, ‘Sea of Rage’ (‘Mar de Rabia’ in Spanish and ‘Mare di Rabbia’ in Italian), was released this past 4th of October. 'Sea of Rage’ is the story of Barbate and Gioia Tauro, two towns that stand up and say enough is enough to confront drug trafficking. A story of silences, dignity and contained rage. Javi Caminero talks to Manu Tomillo and Francesca Berardi about the research they have conducted in this co-production. Listen to Francesca’s and Manu’s recommendations:

Podcasts are now more complex than ever. We are used to listening to amazing documentaries or fictions that are possible thanks to the hard work of producers, sound designers, script writers... However, having a great soundtrack can be crucial when it comes to creating a unique podcast. To understand everything regarding this matter, Javi Caminero is joined by Luca Micheli, Sound Director and Head of Music at Chora Media, our Italian partner in the WePod project.

At WePod we don't just make podcasts. We are trying to make this project important for the podcast industry in Europe at all levels. Therefore, on our website (wepodproject.eu) you can find different tools and resources that aim to fulfil the main goal of WePod, but from a different perspective: to make the podcast industry in Europe grow even bigger. Javi Caminero is joined by Luciana del Castillo, Account Manager for PRISA at Hiberus, WePod’s technology partner, to find out more about this other side of the WePod project.

Even though our professional and personal goals keep us busy, it seems as there’s always room for more. We usually feel the need to be well-informed, for example. That’s why listening to a format like daily news podcasts can be helpful. In this episode, Javi Caminero is joined by Ana Fuentes, host of Hoy En El País, Spain’s biggest daily news podcast, to analyze the importance of this genre.

In this first episode of 'Sounds Like Europe' we look for the answer of a very important question: How do you start a cross-border podcast?

Now, four months into the WePod project, two co-productions are already underway. To explain how you manage to coordinate a cross-border podcast collaboration, our host Javi Caminero talks to Alexander Damiano Ricci, Chief Operating Officer of Bulle Media and coordinator of the WePod project.
