Podcasting is a trend that has become more accessible. It can be the next best thing to showcase and promote that short film, feature or a project that is seeking financing. NYWIFT is pleased to announce the new series A Practical Path to Creating Podcasts, which features three sessions: A Decade of Podcast Love – Getting Started, Developing the Listener’s Experience and Follow the Podcast: Marketing and Promotion.
Join podcast producer Christina Kotlar and actor/blogger/host/producer Frances McGarry for the first installment, A Decade of Podcast Love – Getting Started, a hands-on workshop that serves as a podcast primer. While most people can do a podcast on their own, it’s still a choice to hire a production studio that includes audio recording on its list of services, or maintain control as a DIY product. Either way, there are decisions on what you want to get out of it and this hands-on workshop will give you the jumpstart in the right direction to create and implement your podcast program.

Topics Covered will include:

Kinds of podcasts
• Project promo – a way to sell your film project
