Podcasting and audio storytelling for arts and culture

July 18, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

Joe Bell, Senior Associate at The Space, and Clare Freeman, award-winning radio journalist and podcast producer from A Small Furry Bear Productions will discuss what podcasting can offer arts organisations and their audiences, and the secrets of creating, producing and distributing your work. They’ll be joined by the following contributors who’ll share their experiences:

A Mile In My Shoes invites listeners to hear the stories of peoples’ lives while taking a walk in their shoes. Rachel Briscoe from the Empathy Museum will discuss how in addition to a touring interactive project, they decided to share these moving stories with a wider audience by creating a weekly podcast series.

A Gay and A NonGay has steadily grown into the UK’s leading LGBTQ+ podcast. Winners of ‘Best Comedy’ at 2018’s British Podcasting Awards, James Barr and Dan Hudson dive into conversations around day to day life, differences in perceptions, homophobia, coming out, mental health and lighter topics like dating and Dan learning all about douching! They send out a message of hope and inclusion to everyone, everywhere.

Over the course of the day we’ll cover:

  • What does podcasting offer arts and cultural organisations?
  • What do audiences want from podcasts?
  • How can audio enhance the stories you want to tell?
  • What are the practical considerations when producing and distributing podcasts?
  • How can you build and sustain an audience for your podcast?

In addition to the speaker sessions there’ll be discussions and a practical exercise where you can focus on your own projects.
