Show design and evaluation
The best way to find and keep an audience is to make a podcast they want to listen to.
Whether you’re still nursing an idea or partway through your project, I can help you do that.
I’ll review your material, figure out what’s working and what isn’t, and then come up with a strategy to make your podcast stand out from the crowd.
This is a great option if you want to handle production yourself but would like an independent ear to help sort things out.
A 90-minute consultation costs just $300.
Showrunner
In industry terms, a showrunner is the person who oversees and manages a project. It’s another term for producer or, in some cases, executive producer.
Whatever it’s called, I’ve taken on the role many, many times. A few of my teams have won some pretty cool awards.
As your show runner, I’ll work overtime to help turn your program vision into program reality. I’ll hire and manage freelancers, set up and enforce a production schedule, provide story direction, mediate disputes, and make sure your project comes in on budget and on time.
If you have a project looking for a leader, let’s talk and find out if we’re a match.
Story Editor
Behind every great podcast, there’s a great story. As your story editor, I’ll help you find and tell those stories, even if you’re working with a simple one-on-one interview format.
Of course, I’ll check your grammar and spelling.
But I’ll also work to bring out the best in you and your material.
I can help you identify your angle and focus. Work on story structure. Prepare for interviews and field recordings. And lift you out of the rabbit holes that all good storytellers can fall into.
Audio Storytelling Workshops
My workshops are geared toward journalists and podcast makers who already have basic audio storytelling skills and want to move to the next level.
I offer custom-designed short courses on specific skills such as working with sound and interviewing skills.
I also offer 5- and 10-day intensive courses that cover all the fundamentals of long-form narrative audio storytelling.
That includes finding a focus, story structure, working in the field, character development and writing for the ear.
During the 5-day course, each student will produce a broadcast-ready 5-minute mini-documentary.
You’ll graduate from my 10-day course with a broadcast-ready 10 minute documentary.
My workshops can easily be adapted to your needs. Get in touch to find out more.
