Honing Your Podcast Superpowers at ScienceWriters 2024
I’m a presenting at ScienceWriters2024 in Raleigh, NC.
Our workshop is titled “Honing Your Podcast Superpowers: For Beginners and Seasoned Producers”
Audio is a powerful medium for science storytelling–podcasts are approachable and intimate, bringing your words directly to your audience’s ears and transporting them somewhere new. But how do you start a podcast as a science communicator, and, more critically, how do you build momentum, listenership and funding sufficient to sustain it? Featuring panelists from Gastropod, Dope Labs and NASA’s Curious Universe, this interactive workshop will take you through the steps to supercharge your audio strategy and answer all your burning questions about running a successful science podcast–whether you’re a communicator for a government institution or university interested in launching a show or a freelance journalist looking for a new funding model for your long-running pod. Plus, you’ll have a chance to brainstorm, discuss and pitch your own show ideas or existing podcasts to the community. In a troubled journalism industry, this is our science podcast peer support session.
Speakers: Cynthia Graber (Gastropod), Katie Konans (NASA), and Christian Elliott (NASA)
