In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Avery Moore Kloss. Have you ever been in a place where you knew deep down something had to change, but fear kept holding you back? That's exactly where Avery found herself, watching her husband, an entrepreneur at heart, slowly lose his spark in the corporate grind post-pandemic. Avery candidly shares how she wrestled with the fear of losing financial stability, realizing that she was the one holding him back from his dreams. In this episode, we dive into the moment she finally said to her husband, 'Just quit the job. We'll figure it out.' Avery Moore Kloss is the founder and lead creator of Folktale Studio. As a journalist, educator, entrepreneur, podcast host and award-winning radio documentarian, Avery's passion is in helping others capture their stories through audio. With Folktale Studio, Avery is committed to helping up-and-coming digital storytellers create podcasts that connect their unique stories with the world. As the host of the podcast “Grown Up,” Avery dives deep into the unconventional career journeys of her guests, exploring how they've navigated the twists and turns of the working world. It's a show about finding your way—even if that way looks nothing like what you expected. When she's not crafting podcasts, Avery teaches Audio Storytelling at Wilfrid Laurier University, where she also serves as the Podcaster-in-Residence. In her classes and office hours, she empowers the next generation of digital storytellers to embrace creativity, curiosity, and authenticity in their work. Avery is a proud graduate of Carleton University's School of Journalism and Communications, holding a combined honours degree in Journalism and History. Her storytelling journey began as a casual Associate Producer at CBC Ottawa before taking her to Portland, Maine, to study radio documentary at The Salt Institute for Documentary Studies (now part of the Maine College of Art). It was there that Avery discovered the art of long-form audio storytelling, a love that continues to shape her career. Her dedication to storytelling excellence earned her the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award in 2011 for “My Name is Meth,” an in-depth series exploring the growing crystal meth crisis in rural Ontario. Avery lives in Paris, Ontario, with her husband and daughter. When she's not behind the mic, you can find her enjoying the simple joys of small-town life, dreaming up her next big story, or sharing quiet moments with family.

Pursuing Passion in Medicine: Dr. Neda Frayha's Journey from Academia to Audio StorytellingIn this episode, Christine hosts Dr. Neda Frayha, who shares her journey from the University of Maryland School of Medicine and her work in academic medicine to a career in audio storytelling. With a deep passion for humanizing medicine through education and storytelling, Neda discusses her transformative experience at an audio storytelling workshop and her fulfilling role as a Senior Medical Editor at HIPPO Education and host of the Primary Care Reviews and Perspectives Podcast. The conversation delves into the importance of following personal passion, the significance of caring and listening in medicine, and how setting healthy boundaries (also check out Only Human - the Boundaries episode! on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Hippo Education) and prioritizing self-awareness can significantly impact one's professional and personal life.00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:04 Dr. Neda Frayha's Background and Achievements01:50 Journey into Audio Journalism03:50 Transition to Freelance Reporting and Career Change04:40 Lessons Learned from Career Shift06:19 Challenges and Reflections in Medicine10:43 Importance of Caring in Medicine15:48 Balancing Personal and Professional Life24:02 Final Thoughts and Conclusion

The first 45 minutes of this conversation are FREE! Listen to the extended version of this episode when you subscribe to Patreon here. Dr. Mara Gordon joins the pod to share what it means to be a size-inclusive physician and why it's time to rethink weight in medicine. We discuss why it's harmful to center medical care on a patient's weight, the stigma and negative health consequences of medical providers prescribing intentional weight loss, how to advocate for yourself with your physician, declining to be weighed at the doctor's, why BMI is so problematic, caring for and treating diagnoses without weight loss, and her thoughts on the GLP-1 hype. Mara also opens up about what she regrets as a physician prior to finding fat-positive medicine, and how she came to see the harms of anti-fat bias and diet culture more broadly.  In the EXTENDED version (a bonus episode that you can find at www.patreon.com/fullplate), Mara answers questions about: her concerns about GLP-1s like Ozempic, and what we can do to think about them differently how larger bodied humans can advocate for themselves at the doctor's office without giving the unwritten message that they're “noncompliant” or don't care about their health how to deal with being told weight loss will help a specific health condition (like diabetes, joint pain, sleep apnea) why folks in larger bodies need to receive the same treatments offered to thin-bodied folks how “obesity” as a pathological condition has its roots in the pharmaceutical industry, and it started in the 90s   More about Dr. Mara Gordon: Dr. Gordon is a family physician and writer based in Philadelphia. She worked in public health in Tanzania and Malawi before returning to the Philadelphia area to attend medical school at the Perelman School of Medicine at the  University of Pennsylvania, where she was awarded the Zervanos Family Medicine Award for a medical student going into family medicine. She cares for patients of all ages at the Cooper Family Medicine office at the Kroc Center in Camden. She loves working with medical students in preclinical and clinical educational settings. She teaches selectives in Narrative Medicine and Audio Storytelling and co-directs the Narrative Medicine Scholarly Concentration. She continues to write professionally about issues in contemporary medicine.

Get two insider scoops in Epi 26 on how to create -- then share -- top podcasts: First up, podcast veteran Jason Hoch, creator of many number one shows, shares with host E.B. Moss how he made stuff work at HowStuffWorks.... Then Jason tells how serendipity led him to collaborate with Tenderfoot TV to make the groundbreaking show, Atlanta Monster ...and what he thinks are the ingredients for not just chart-toppers, but compelling stories that are essential listening today. Jason's success continued at Imperative Entertainment with Boomtown, (soon to be cross-over IP as a TV show!) which was an eye-opening experience and led him to launch his own company, Wavland, to capture real human narratives. Boomtown But first, Jason had to get a passport... then learn why E.B. calls him the Forrest Gump of podcasting.... Since then, the company has already created and delivered the podcast chart topper, “Noble” – a deeply-reported story which resonates with audiences on multiple levels.   'I have an unquenchable thirst for fresh original stories and the people behind them. And if we don't tell these stories soon, they're bound to be lost forever.' -- Jason Hoch, CEO, Chief Creative Officer, Wavland Wavland Chart Topping Podcasts   NEXT: It's a brief but brilliant bonus interview with Mathew Passy, the creator of the Podcast Beacon, an NFC device that simplifies the podcast discovery process, making it as easy as a tap on your phone.  In the previous episode of Insider Interviews, also captured during Podcast Movement, discoverability and ease of user experience in finding/listening to podcasts was high on everyone's wishlist.

Sound Judgment is about the craft of audio storytelling. Not about the marketing of podcasts. But today, we're bringing you a gift from someone I trust completely when it comes to audience growth: Jeremy Enns of Podcast Marketing Academy, and his co-host, Justin Jackson, cofounder of Transistor.fm. They've teamed up to produce Podcast Marketing Trends Explained, a limited series that extracts proven audience growth techniques from Enns' comprehensive annual survey of podcasters about their marketing methods. In this episode, you'll learn: — Whether the famed "podcast discoverability problem" actually exists— The three types of marketing channels at your disposal & what the data shows about their effectiveness— Whether or not it's worth it (and when) to pay for ads— How to pick the right marketing channel for you— Why "owned media" is the low-hanging fruit for many creators— What most podcasters get wrong about growth through collaborations, and— How to kickstart word-of-mouth growth.

In this episode of The People Teaching People Podcast, we are joined by Meg Wilcox.  Meg loves a great story. Her earliest audio memories are from when she was only 4 or 5 years old, listening to CBC Radio in her dad's art studio. While he painted big sweeping landscapes, she would divide her page into frames to make her own comic strip-like stories -- one frame just wasn't enough! In hindsight, it probably isn't too surprising that Meg ended up a journalist. She spent many years travelling the country as a radio host, producer and reporter with the CBC, CKUA, and the Banff Centre. Now, she teaches audio storytelling, podcasting, and media freelance in the Journalism and Digital Media program at Mount Royal University in Calgary. She is also co-director of the Community Podcast Initiative -- a place to encourage and explore storytelling and community connection while amplifying and supporting voices that are under-represented and misrepresented in traditional media. Meg is an award-winning podcaster, and in 2020 she was one of Avenue Magazine's Top 40 under 40. Her first book is called The New Journalist's Guide to Freelancing, and it's out now via Broadview Press.   Listen in as we talk about: 3:51 Meg's journey in becoming a journalist 8:49 Key learning experiences as a journalist 11:05 The importance of being curious 14:17 Creating a safe space for learning 15:54 Developing and teaching a podcasting course 21:19 Meg's PhD studies with the University of Glasgow 26:22 Meg's collaboration with Inside Out Theatre 29:44 The role of podcasting in education now and in the future 38:17 Indigenous voices, knowledge, and expertise in podcasting  46:10 The Community Podcast Initiative 49:42 Meg's book: The New Journalist's Guide to Freelancing 55:28 Meg's words of wisdom    Connect with Meg: Websites:  Meg Wilcox: http://www.megwilcox.com/ The Community Podcast Initiative: https://thepodcaststudio.ca/ Instagram: @meghw @communitypodyyc Twitter: @meghw Book: The New Journalist's Guide to Freelancing: Building Your Career in the New Media Landscape  Podcast: Community Podcast Initiative (CPI) Podcast   Connect with Tiana: Website: https://tianafech.com LinkedIn: Tiana Fech Instagram: @tianafech  Facebook: @tianafech  Book: Online Course Creation 101: A step-by-step guide to creating your first online course  Today's episode is produced by VOLT Productions, a full-service podcast production agency helping creators and entrepreneurs launch, grow and monetize their shows.

Without curiosity and wanting to look at things from other people's points of view, you can't translate that to an audience.” Meg emphasizes the paramount importance of expertise, facts, and context within the realms of journalism, particularly in an era burgeoning with misinformation and disinformation. She highlights the shift in journalism towards acknowledging not just academic experts but also individuals with lived experiences, underlining the richness this diversity brings to understanding stories. Engaging with a broad spectrum of experts, Meg underscores the continuous learning and enriching encounters that journalism facilitates as well as the expertise required in crafting informed narratives. Furthermore, Meg reflects on the unique allure of live radio broadcasts, stressing the irreplaceable experience of real-time conversations and the organic, compelling nature of such interactions. She underscores the significance of collaboration and the human element in creating meaningful content, celebrating the magic of live or minimally edited broadcasts in connecting with the audience. These live exchanges are important not only in disseminating news but also in offering diverse perspectives and insights, thereby enriching the listener's experience and understandi...

This is part 3 of our new Sound Judgment quick-hit series on six storytelling strategies for hooking your audience and keeping them with you. Today, we're talking about scenes. They're obviously a staple in longform narrative storytelling, like true crime and documentaries. Don't ignore them, though, for interview shows; you just have to interview well to elicit good, sensory anecdotes from your guests. Between the lines, you'll hear how useful they are on the page and the stage as well. As a reminder, all six strategies come from today's best audio storytellers.

Our fourth S in the 6S framework for hooking your audience and keeping them with you is surprise. It's the left turn when we're expecting a righthand one that makes us listen. It's the twists and turns of an involved, high-stakes plot that we love, or the ending of the movie or the novel that we didn't predict. As New Hampshire Public Radio Senior Podcast Editor Katie Colaneri says, it's the "holy shit" moment. Part 4 features Katie Colaneri, NHPR reporter Sarah Gibson and her This American Life Story, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Quorum," and Kelly Corrigan of the PBS show Tell Me More and the podcast Kelly Corrigan Wonders. Apply the six storytelling strategies for creating unforgettable content to your own work!  Sign up for our interactive, virtual Hook Your Audience & Keep Them Coming Back workshopThursday, March 14, 2024By developing skills from story structure to scene-making, suspense to specifics, you'll learn to create or improve the show, story, article or speech that expresses what you want to express, captivates the people you want to reach, and achieves quality and depth you can be proud of.

Improve your storytelling, interviewing, writing, producing, hosting and guesting skills! Sign up for new Sound Judgment workshops today at www.podcastallies.com/workshops. On this episode, Emily Silverman and host Elaine Appleton Grant discuss: — Why she thought starting a live storytelling event for physicians should be her next step as she was coming to terms with being in the wrong career while also searching for her biological parents and considering becoming a mother.— How leaving the full-time practice of medicine felt like an "identity death" to Emily — and how journalists and podcasters navigating media in 2024 are also experiencing identity death, and — How Emily found her way to a new career through her love of theater and storytelling, and how bringing the arts to medicine is serving the Nocturnists' goal of shattering the myth of the physician God and humanizing medicine. Emily and Elaine break down two episodes of The Nocturnists:"Pass/Fail," Episode 4 of the 10-part documentary series Shame in Medicine: The Lost Forest, takes listeners into the stressful world of medical students taking an exam that has the power to dictate the rest of their lives. Put yourself in the shoes of students wondering if this one test will prevent them from becoming a doctor — or if it will bar them from pursuing their passion for their specialty? Emily gives us some lessons on getting listeners to contribute personal stories — and how her team weaves them together in heart-stopping fashion. We also examine the the power of novels to help us deeply understand the harmful consequences of medicine practiced for the wrong reasons, and how art can help us empathize in a way that journalistic accounts of history do not. In "Conversations: Dolen Perkins-Valdez" Emily learns more about the 1973 case of the Relf sisters, who were forcibly sterilized at a Montgomery, Alabama health clinic. We discuss strategies for how to hold intimate, revealing interviews — and when you should break the rules. Plus: Emily shares the single most important key to producing sound-rich, highly produced longform audio stories. Emily Silverman, MD is an internal medicine physician at UCSF, writer, and creator/host of The Nocturnists, an award-winning medical storytelling organization that has uplifted the voices of 450+ healthcare workers since 2016 through its podcast and sold-out live performances.The Nocturnists' work has been presented on CBS This Morning and NPR's Morning Edition, and at Pop Up Magazine and South By Southwest (SXSW). In 2020, its "Stories from a Pandemic" documentary podcast series was acquired by the U.S. Library of Congress for historic preservation. The Nocturnists has been honored by the Webby Awards, Anthem Awards, Ambie Awards, and more.Dr. Silverman's writing has been supported by MacDowell and published in The New York Times, Virginia Quarterly Review, JAMA, CHEST, and McSweeneys.

In this episode of The Truth in This Art, host Rob Lee interviews Ronald Young Jr., a critically acclaimed audio producer, host, storyteller, and pop culture enthusiast. They discuss Ronald's journey in storytelling, his early experiences with audio production, and his passion for vulnerable and impactful storytelling.

Sharing a personal experience, especially a traumatic one, is a particularly popular scripted podcast form. Memoir done well often shoots to the top of the podcast charts or the bestseller list. It moves us, leaves us breathless, inspires standing ovations and prompts us into conversations and confessions of our own. Sometimes memoir creates change.But memoir produced without first grappling with why your experience matters to others can sound cheap, sensation-grabbing, and empty. As listeners, readers, and viewers, we are bombarded with confessions.There is a fine line between transformative and indulgent.Moreover, stories of heartbreak are hard to choose to listen to these days, because the world is showering us with trauma. Given the circumstances, why make memoir?The decision to make the private public isn't easy. Nor should it be.In the first episode of Sound Judgment, Season 4, I explore this question with producer Maribel Quezada Smith, who shares her extraordinary experience with life and death in The Pulso Podcast piece, “The Latino Experience of Fertility: A Story of Pregnancy Loss.”It took Maribel two years to write and produce this remarkable story about the birth of her son — and the death of her daughter. Her story succeeds, in part, because she identified something fresh: Miscarriage and other forms of pregnancy loss are particularly common in the Latino community, Pulso's audience. And so is the incredible societal pressure to bear children, setting up an impossible, often hidden, conflict.That her story succeeds in transforming, not indulging, is evident in the piles of grateful responses she received from listeners who shared her experience, but who had never heard their story reflected out loud. Shame and secrecy had dogged their lives. Maribel's story brought in the light. Along the way, Maribel had to answer several questions for herself about motivation, format, theme, mood, and point of view. Which private moments should she capture on tape? How much could she bear? To whom did she owe privacy? Which scenes and reflections would create momentum — and which pieces would she have to leave out?Maribel Quezada Smith is a bilingual video and podcast producer and the founder of Diferente Creative. Her video credits include producing TV shows for Discovery Networks, Netflix, TLC and A&E, and digital content for brands like AARP, NBC GolfNow and SquadCast FM. Her podcasting credits include Sacred Scandal (iHeart), Birdies Not BS and Pulso Podcast, to name a few. In 2021, Maribel co-founded BIPOC Podcast Creators, an organization devoted to amplifying the voices and stories of people of color.Maribel's passion is creating meaningful, standout content.

The thing we  are asking for when we put our podcast, our book, or our speech out there is attention. And there is no more exquisite currency than attention. So how can we reveal something, or elicit something from our guest, that will make the listener feel like the time they spent with us was worth it? That's Kelly's guiding principle.  2. Carefully time the three questions you're a little afraid to ask. Don't ask your toughest ones first – and feel for the opening, like Kelly did with Samantha Power. 3. The purest motivation to start a podcast is to follow your curiosity. When it's there, it's evident to the listener. And it's evident when it's not there. 4: Kelly knows when an interview is going great when she's saying something she hasn't said before or when she knows that her guest is saying something they haven't said before.Visit Kelly online:www.kellycorrigan.comInstagram: @kellycorriganLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kellycorriganFacebook: kellycorriganauthorTwitter/X: @corrigankelly   Subscribe to Sound Judgment, the Newsletter, our twice-monthly newsletter about creative choices in audio storytelling.

For more takeaways from all of our guests, subscribe to the Sound Judgment newsletter and visit our blog. Learn to draw upon rhythm and music to improve your delivery on the mic. Ronald grew up with the musicality of the storytelling and the singing he heard in church, and that turned him into a storyteller who is enchanting to listen to. But we can all do this by feeling the rhythm and cadence of language: Where are the beats? Where are the breaths? It's not just storyboarding that makes great stories; it's how we deliver our stories. Don't censor yourself. At the beginning of the scripting process, Ronald's story editor, Sarah Deeley, had him write down all the ideas he had for each episode. Only then did they narrow those ideas down into a structured narrative. Build stories in layers. Think about context: what does the listener need to know, right now, to understand this episode? To tell a story about his college girlfriend, Ronald had to first explain some stuff about his childhood. What context do you need to offer to make your story land?

This Changes Everything Season 3 was all about public education. So we wanted to share an episode from another podcast that you might be interested in. This spring, This Changes Everything won a first place award in Audio Storytelling from the Best of the West journalism contest — specifically for the second episode of Season 3,  The Kids Are Not All Right, which was about the mental health crisis facing young people today, its relationship to the pandemic and the effect that all this is having on teachers, too. Because of that award, a high school teacher from Wyoming named Charles Fournier asked us to do an episode swap with his podcast, Those Who Can't Teach Anymore. His podcast also won a first place award: a Top of the Rockies award from the Society of Professional Journalists. It explores why teachers are leaving education right now and what can be done to stop the exodus. We wanted to share the first episode of that podcast right here. It's called “Fight, Flight, or Apathy.” It chronicles this mass exodus of teachers, one of whom includes Charles' wife, Jennie. Jennie and two other teachers who recently left the profession talk about why they left, offering some key insight into what's going on — and going wrong — for teachers in public schools right now. And if you want to hear more podcasts from the Crosscut newsroom, check out Crosscut Reports, which comes out a lot more frequently, and showcases reporting from our colleagues here. Topics range from efforts to change the culture inside Washington's prisons to how reproductive health care has changed in Washington after the fall of Roe v. Wade.

Hi everyone. Thanks for joining me for this new episode of Nepal Now. I'm Marty Logan. You might have noticed that this is an extra short episode. Frankly, that's because it will be the last one. After 3 years I'm saying goodbye. Why? Put simply, I don't have the energy to keep the show going any more. I didn't want to announce this at the end of the last full episode, because then I wouldn't have had the chance to say this: Thanks to all of you who are listening and to everyone who ‘tuned in' for one or more of the 64 episodes. I hope you took something away from the experience. I certainly did. I ‘met' a lot of people, most of them online, as you do in this globalized world in the era of Covid-19. I especially appreciate the chats I had with younger guests — which is most of them : -). I think their approach to life rubbed off on me a little, and that's a good thing. If I have one regret it's that I wish Nepal Now had been a little more entertaining, as opposed to informative. My journalism, mainly reporting on women and children's health and on human rights, often focuses on serious topics but, personally, I appreciate a good laugh. Looking back, I think that I should have included more of them in this work... Next time, I hope. A very big thank you to all of my guests, young and old, for sharing their time. I will single out the first guest, Nayantara Gurung Kakshapati, who very easily said yes to my invitation — and even loaned me an audio recorder afterwards. Special thanks to Lori, Shayne, Thom and Nicole, for encouraging me to keep going when I got discouraged way too early in this project. And to Suraya for helping me with social media, especially Instagram, where I was a total newbie. My biggest thank you goes to Niku, who was my advisor on all things Nepali, an insightful critic of my first drafts, and my biggest supporter. This might sound strange given that I'm ending Nepal Now, but I feel like doing this podcast helped to spark my creativity in recent years. I have always enjoyed audio as a medium for journalism and hope to continue using it in my future work. Till then, you can find me on social media and check out my latest work on my Linktree — I'm martydlogan. You will be able to listen to any episodes of the show that you've missed on your podcast app until mid-July. After that, they'll have a home on YouTube — look for @NepalNowPod.Speaking of chuckles, I want to leave you with an outtake from another podcast I've hosted — Strive, by IPS News. Bye for now. Stay in touch on:Instagram Twitter LinkedIn

Pushkin Industries released a "Best Of Audio Storytelling: 2022" but instead of putting it out as a podcast series, it's an audiobook. Does it matter? Julia Barton at Pushkin says no. On the latest Sound School, Julia talks about tearing down audio silos, and discusses a handful of stories from the collection, including selections from Radiotopia, NPR, Rumble Strip, and more.

Segunda-feira, 22 de maio de 2023. Eu sou Leo Lopes e este é o Castnews, o podcast semanal de notícias para podcasters. Aqui você ouve, toda segunda-feira pela manhã, um resumo das principais notícias sobre o mercado de podcast no Brasil e no mundo. O poder de engajamento dos podcasters, o crescimento exponencial de publicidade em podcasts, movimentações importantes no nosso mercado e o episódio 500 do Braincast estão entre as principais notícias que você vai ouvir nesta 16a. edição do Castnews! Notícias: 1 – Pra começar, hoje trazemos uma pesquisa feita lá nos Estados Unidos que revelou um dado surpreendente pro mercado de publicidade, mas nem tanto para nós que trabalhamos com podcast. Você sabia que os podcasters têm um poder de engajamento maior do que os influenciadores digitais e celebridades? É verdade. Três em cada quatro consumidores consideram os apresentadores de podcasts como as figuras mais influentes em recomendações de produtos e serviços. E essa influência não se restringe a uma idade específica, não. Ela abrange principalmente ouvintes millennials, mas também os jovens da geração Z e os adultos da geração X. Os anúncios nos podcasts também recebem mais atenção do que os da TV ou mídias sociais. Mais da metade dos entrevistados admitiram ter comprado produtos ou serviços mencionados nos podcasts, e agora as marcas americanas estão sendo aconselhadas a incorporar podcasters nas suas estratégias de marketing. Já faz tempo que a gente fala sobre esse potencial aqui no Brasil, então vamos ver se ao longo deste e do próximo ano, os patrocinadores entendem que o podcast é disparado uma das melhores opções pra engajamento com o cliente final. (inclusive pode entrar em contato com a gente pelo contato@castnews.com.br pra gente bater um papo sobre como você pode anunciar aqui, blz?) Ler a notícia completa 02 – Mas não é só isso que a gente vai falar sobre publicidade hoje não, porque ainda tem mais informação pra você adicionar aí no midia kit do seu podcast. De acordo com um estudo divulgado pelo IAB.com, a publicidade em podcasts está crescendo duas vezes mais rápido do que outros tipos de publicidade digital. Os principais temas de conteúdo que geram essa receita, são esportes, sociedade e comédia, mas essa gama tá se expandindo cada vez mais pra categorias mais nichadas e específicas, como por exemplo advocacia ou reforma de casas. A inserção de propagandas em podcasts é uma alternativa barata e efetiva pras marcas, que agora podem se conectar com o cliente através de uma dessas milhares de vozes autênticas, e que já estão há tempos criando conteúdo para públicos de nicho. O crescimento contínuo do podcasting tá gerando mais audiência e tempo de consumo, o que por sua vez atrai mais anunciantes. Essa é uma informação muito importante pra se ter em mente na hora de vender um spot no seu podcast, ou negociar um patrocínio. Ler a notícia completa 03 – E na semana passada, a música brasileira sofreu uma baixa inestimável, de uma das vozes mais icônicas do nosso país. Após o falecimento da cantora Rita Lee, vários podcasts jornalísticos abordaram a sua vida e a sua carreira. Programas como Café da Manhã, Ao Ponto, Podcast JR e Estadão Notícias dedicaram episódios especiais para explorar diferentes aspectos da trajetória da Rita. Dentre as pessoas que trabalharam nesses episódios especiais estão pesquisadores musicais e pessoas próximas a Rita Lee, como o produtor musical João Marcelo Bôscoli. Fora esses podcasts, é claro que muitas homenagens ainda vão ser feitas pra ela, agora e nas próximas gerações, inclusive pode esperar um episódio especial no Rádiofobia Classics ainda este ano.  Aqui fica a nossa gratidão e nossa homenagem à querida ovelha negra da MPB. Ler a notícia completa AINDA EM NOTÍCIAS DA SEMANA: 04 – A Acast, empresa sueca de impulsionamento e monetização de podcasts, lançou o consórcio Publishers in Podcasting no Reino Unido, com o objetivo de que veículos de comunicação compartilhem conhecimentos e ideias para fortalecer a indústria de podcasting. O consórcio é composto por cinco membros fundadores de peso, incluindo Tortoise Media, The Economist, The Guardian, The Financial Times e News UK. A iniciativa busca impulsionar a popularidade dos podcasts de notícias e estabelecer o podcasting como uma fonte confiável de informação. A Acast tá planejando expandir a organização para incluir outras editoras do Reino Unido e, eventualmente, editoras globais. Embora o consórcio tenha sido bem recebido pela maioria das pessoas, alguns setores da indústria levantaram a preocupação de que o esforço seja concentrado só nas editoras maiores e mais famosas, deixando editoras menores de lado. Será? Vamos acompanhar e ver como o projeto se desenvolve. Ler a notícia completa 05 – A empresa de anúncios Audion fortaleceu sua posição no mercado italiano ao comprar a produtora Mentre, depois de uma rodada de financiamento bem-sucedida. Com a entrada na Itália, a Audion tá querendo pegar carona no crescimento da publicidade em áudio digital da região. Além disso, a plataforma de vídeo Rumble (rival do Youtube) comprou nessa última semana a Callin, uma plataforma de podcasting e transmissão ao vivo. O CEO da Rumble, Chris Pavlovski, destacou que a compra da Callin vai servir pra oferecer mais ferramentas e recursos aos criadores de conteúdo, mantendo o compromisso da empresa com a liberdade de expressão dos seus usuários. Ler a notícia completa Ler a segunda notícia 06 – E nos últimos meses tem acontecido um aumento expressivo nos podcasts diários gerados por inteligência artificial no Spotify. De acordo com o Daniel Ek, CEO da empresa, desde o início desse ano as produções de IAs tiveram um aumento de 400%, mas nos últimos 30 dias esse número saltou para 500%. Não é mais novidade que os robôs têm desempenhado cada vez mais papéis no podcasting, seja na criação de conteúdo ou como ferramentas de gravação e edição, mas esses números são muito impressionantes. Claro que isso faz com que a gente continue debatendo os impactos das inteligências artificiais, sejam elas usadas pro bem ou para o mal. Vamos ver se esse número continua aumentando, ou se dá uma estagnada nos próximos meses. Ler a notícia completa E MAIS: 07 – O Headliner alcançou a marca de mais de 6 milhões e 500 mil vídeos curtos criados a partir de podcasts, juntamente com quase 2 milhões de exportações de audiogramas completos. O produto principal da empresa, o Make by Headliner, oferece recursos para criar vídeos curtos para mídias sociais, condensando episódios completos de podcasts em clipes de 30 a 90 segundos. A empresa espera que o número de vídeos curtos criados na plataforma ultrapasse 8 milhões em breve. Ler a notícia completa 08 – E você lembra quando, lá no primeiro episódio, nós anunciamos que a City University of London lançou o primeiro mestrado dedicado ao podcasting? Pois bem, agora a University College London, uma das principais universidades do Reino Unido, está oferecendo bolsas de estudo para o programa de mestrado em Audio Storytelling, juntamente com um subsídio de 15 mil libras. É muito legal ver como o podcasting está sendo validado cada dia mais dentro dos meios acadêmicos. Ler a notícia completa 09 – E nessa edição também tem dicas sobre um plug-in do Adobe Premiere que vai facilitar (e muito) a vida de quem edita videocasts.  O AutoPod é um plug-in desenvolvido para simplificar a edição de video no Premiere. Ele oferece uma série de funcionalidades de automação para os editores, incluindo o editor multi-câmera, que permite integrar até 10 câmeras e microfones simultaneamente; o Criador de clipes para mídias sociais; e o Editor de saltos, que cria cortes de salto com base no som dos microfones.  Todas as informações sobre o plug-in você encontra lá no portal do Castnews, ou em autopod.fm . Ler a notícia completa HOJE NO GIRO SOBRE PESSOAS QUE FAZEM A MÍDIA: 10 – O Braincast do B9, apresentado pelo Carlos Merigo, chegou ao seu episódio de número 500! Desde 2006, o podcast fala de temas relacionados à cultura digital, comportamento, inovação e negócios, sempre combinando leveza com senso crítico.  No episódio 500, de 1 hora e 26 minutos, o Merigo fez uma retrospectiva muito divertida relembrando com o ouvinte todas as piadinhas internas e referências aos episódios antigos que foram lançados ao longo desses anos.  Aqui, em nome da equipe do Castnews, eu dou os nossos parabéns pela marca alcançada pelo Braincast, e mandamos um abração pros nossos amigos do B9. Ler a notícia completa SOBRE LANÇAMENTOS: 11 – Hoje a gente vai falar do lançamento do podcast “Português em Meia Hora”, apresentado pelo meu amigo professor Manga, lá do Instagram Questão de Linguagem, que explora o universo da língua portuguesa de um jeito que o ouvinte nunca viu.  No episódio de estreia, o Manga explica a diferença entre “língua” e “linguagem” e aprofunda alguns conceitos fundamentais da nossa querida língua portuguesa. O podcast é uma parceria com o Vítor Soares do História em Meia Hora, e nasceu com o objetivo de oferecer reflexões sobre língua e linguagem de forma acessível. O programa é muito bom e didático, e o episódio 1 já está disponível no Spotify.  Não deixa de conferir, porque suas rodas de conversa com certeza vão ficar muito mais ricas com esse conteúdo. Ler a notícia completa RECOMENDAÇÃO NACIONAL: 12 – E essa semana a gente traz pra você dois podcasts nas nossas recomendações nacionais! O primeiro deles é o Caranguejo Atômico, direto de Pernambuco, apresentado pelo Guilherme Gomes, o Paulo Silva e o Rudá Braga.

Mother's Day seems like it should be a Hallmark moment. But for many, reality is far different. Dana Black started her very personal podcast, I Swear on My Mother's Grave, for listeners suffering from complex mother loss — meaning not only people who have lost their mothers to death, but also, in life  by estrangement, illness, addiction, circumstance. Sensitivity warning: This conversation touches on alcoholism and addiction. Audio storytellers can learn design the tone, writing, and mood of a podcast to foster  intimacy with listeners. They can grapple with the defining the role of the podcast host. They will learn how to make guests, and listeners, feel seen, and to create a sense of belonging. We also discuss the power of scenes to convey memory, character, relationship and feelings. At the end of every episode, I give you a few of the many takeaways from these conversations. Here are today's:  We say podcasts are an intimate medium. But that's really not the case. What's true is that podcasts have the capacity to feel intimate – but it takes a clear sound vision to make that happen.  Dana has it. She thinks carefully about how she wants her listeners to feel. “Come here come here come here,” she whispers. She talks to them directly, as if they're right there. “Sit by the fire with me. Grab a cup of cocoa. Put on warm socks.” She wants them to feel they're in on a secret and so she writes, voices, and sound designs with that goal in mind.  There's no intimacy without trust. “The only way to gain the trust of someone I've never met,” Dana says, “I have to share myself, so that they will share themselves.”   There is so much power in scenes. A 45-second scene – in Dana's case, about getting American girl dolls for Christmas – we get a distillation of who her mother was. Scenes done well are beautiful shortcuts to both facts and feelings – and inevitably have listeners conjuring up memories from their own lives.  One reason listeners are hooked on I Swear on My Mother's Grave: At the end of every episode, Dana reflects on what that conversation meant to her, often in surprising ways. Listeners can't wait to find out what she'll say. Links mentioned in this episode:Mother's Grave Retreat, June 8-11, 2023I Swear on My Mother's GraveSound Judgment Ep 5: Finding Your Voice with Shelter in Place host Laura Joyce Davis***Bring lessons on hosting and producing into your inbox! Did you know Sound Judgment is also a free newsletter?

One day in the summer of 2022, Lemonada Media's Stephanie Wittels Wachs received a surprise: an invitation to the White House to witness the signing of a gun safety bill. The invitation was sparked by the tremendous emotional impact of their hit show, Last Day, and especially of this episode, "A Love Story." If you strive to make audio documentaries on the toughest problems we face today, this behind-the-scenes conversation is your road map. Scroll down for several actionable takeaways from this episode. Stephanie Wittels Wachs is a longtime actor, voice-over artist, theater teacher, author and the co-founder, with Jessica Cordova Cramer, of Lemonada Media. Last Day is only one of Lemonada's 30-plus podcasts, including chart-topping Wiser Than Me with Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Lemonada Media's tag line matches Stephanie's personality: Humanity. Unfiltered. A note about Sound Judgment: We believe that no host does good work alone. All hosts rely on their producers. We strive to give credit to producers – the true behind-the-scenes talent – whenever it's possible to do so. The episode: A Love StoryExecutive Producers: Jessica Cordova Cramer and Stephanie Wittels WachsSupervising Producer: Jackie DanzigerProducers: Kagan Zema and Giulia HjortAssociate Producers: Hannah Boomershine and Erianna Jiles Subscribe to Sound Judgment, the Newsletter.  Improve your craft!

Looking for a production company that understands audiences and puts storytelling first? Visit us at www.podcastallies.com.How to tell sensitive, impactful stories: Stephanie's takeawaysBe curious. Frame your story around a central question.“I'm a central question psychopath… I'm always saying, okay, but what's the question? What are we trying to figure out? What's the point? That's really critical to any storytelling, but I think it [emerges] over time. And it's so baked into the process of revision and collaboration. And you know when you've found it… If the episode isn't working, it's typically because you haven't nailed down what that central question is.” To be vulnerable on tape, you need at least one partner who encourages vulnerability. Stephanie relies on her team of skilled and sensitive producers.“I am used to collaborating very deeply and closely and trusting one another through that process. I don't know how I would do this with a team I didn't trust and feel safe with. The show is a real team sport.”  To help a host be authentic in front of a mic, give them permission to have feelings.“Gloria Rivera [host of No One's Coming to Save Us and a veteran news broadcaster] was doing tracking…using her broadcast voice. And I was like, “Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, that microphone hates that. Let's shake that off. We're gonna play this tape. Can you just listen to this woman talking about how hard it is for her to juggle a newborn with a toddler with her own job? And I know you've experienced some of that yourself. And can you just close your eyes and then respond to it, just however you feel. And Gloria…she's so full of heart and soul and vulnerability herself. Once she had that permission, she started crying. And she started talking about her own experience having to go to war zones with little kids at home, and how painful that was for her to have to balance. And we kept that as the first moment of the first episode.” Have fun making the show. It shows. “We have fun making the show, and that feels important, because it's real dark.” (Elaine's note: If you're not having fun, it might be time to reevaluate how you're creating it, what you're creating, and whether to continue.)  Great storytelling is built on truth, contrast, and unexpected turns — or why Stephanie led an episode about suicide with a scene of her team whooping it up at a shooting range. “I had never understood how hunting could bring somebody joy until I shot a gun that morning. I had a ton of fun. Seven hours later, we were in a living room talking to a family who lost their son. Because he took his life with a hunting rifle. I didn't know how else to tell that story honestly… And I always [pleading with my team] ‘show not tell, show not tell!' And the way that we showed it was to have fun shooting the guns. And then let's see the pain that this causes. You have to have both of those to understand the issue.”  To make a gripping narrative podcast, use scenes, as often as possible (but only good ones).“This is the theater part, right? It's about character and it's about humanity and that's the stuff we try to capture, right? What are the human things about you? And what are the human things about me? And then when we put those things in a room together, human things happen. And that's interesting.” Make choices about the quantity of your narration on a case-by-case basis. “We typically have a lot of tracking in these episodes. And we made a very conscious choice with this one to keep a lot of the conversation intact. They were so honest, and we had this really amazing moment together.  And let's just try to keep a lot of that together. And take me as narrator out as much as we could…A lot of our episodes are seven voices…really woven together and patchworked.”   Find a champion. How do you find people willing to share deeply personal stories? You need what Stephanie calls a “credible messenger,” someone trusted in a community, to show you the ropes and introduce you to people. “We had a lot of trouble tracking down people to talk to us in Montana. To be honest, it took many, many months. We started with this guy named Carl…who heads up mental health for the Department of Health and Human Services in Montana… In our very first call…Carl said you're gonna have to fix your poker face before you come into Montana or no one's going to talk to you. And we kept that in. We wanted to show everyone there's barrier to entry. And if we came in with [the stance that] you shouldn't have guns, we would not get anywhere. So he culturally put us through the wringer. Once he could see that we were down to not come in and tell everyone the way that they should live their lives, he opened the gate, and connected us to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in Montana.”Credits Sound Judgment is a production of Podcast Allies, LLC. Host: Elaine Appleton GrantProject Manager: Tina BassirSound Designer: Andrew ParellaIllustrator: Sarah Edgell

Did you miss Part 1 of my conversation with Audio Branding's Jodi Krangle? Listen to it here. Takeaways from today's episode: 1. Imposter syndrome and the art of the interview When she started hosting, Jodi Krangle, who makes her living using her voice, had to overcome one big negative belief.  “I didn't think I was a speaker of any kind!” she says. It was hard for her to speak her own words, believe she had something worth saying, and be passionate enough to get her thoughts across. That was all harder than she expected – but she persevered. All of this is learnable, and mindset is the first thing we often need to change.2. Why does sound matter?Let's take a look at the advertising industry for some clues. They spend millions of dollars crafting the right sounds and voices. Why? Because they know that sound can create deeper connections with the audience. We don't buy things because of logic, but because of emotion. Brands use sound to communicate something distinct, unique, and ownable – so how are you using audio to communicate just how special, and different, you are from the crowd? 3. Your sonic brand is worth millions.If you work for an organization or a brand, you may already have a podcast or be thinking about starting one. When you do, make sure your show not only integrates with the rest of your communications, but also that it's as high quality as everything else you put out into the world. Audio creates a brand, just as much as your visuals do. Do you know we have a free Sound Judgment newsletter, full of guidance on how to make great creative choices in audio storytelling?Join subscribers from NPR, PRX,  PRPD, Stanford, Spotify and more.

We're doing something different on this episode. Jodi and I interview each other – and discover some real similarities and big differences between voice acting & hosting. One of the biggest similarities: As hosts and voice actors, we need to communicate emotion authentically. That's where the joy and the success lies – and where many of the problems do, too. Parts 1 and 2 of this conversation with Jodi Krangle are running on Sound Judgment and also on Audio Branding.

Sound needs to change as culture changes. Remember the old movie trailers with The Voice of God? We don't hear those much any more, and for a good reason. Younger generations experience sound in a very different way – they want to be shown what's will be on the movie screen, for instance, not told to. They do not want to be sold to at all. So if we're not hearing the Voice of God from voice actors any more, we're also not wanting that newscaster, anchor voice – the Walter Cronkite voice – in journalism and podcasting, either. 2. Emotional context is what sound does for us.I was surprised to hear Jodi say, when she's recording a commercial, for instance – “If I don't have a movie or play going on in my head, it's hard for the person listening to understand the emotion that's coming across.” Storytellers, when you're using a script, this is key to avoiding sounding like you're reading. We need to embody what we're saying.  3. Hosting is strategic. We need to start treating it that way. In the advertising industry, directors often make the mistake of tacking on voiceover at the end of a production, rather than thinking about it strategically from the beginning. Many folks in Jodi's industry mistakenly believe voice acting is just standing at a mic and talking. That's my pet peeve as well.  We should be thinking about hosting – and creating an intentional sound for our shows – at the beginning of the process, not throwing in a voice at the end. Hosting well is how you engage listeners, and hosting poorly can lose them. Tune in next week for Part 2, a bonus episode.  Credits Sound Judgment is a production of Podcast Allies, LLC. Host: Elaine Appleton GrantProject Manager: Tina BassirSound Designer: Andrew ParellaIllustrator: Sarah EdgellWant to work with Elaine Appleton Grant or Podcast Allies? Visit the following for information on:Coaching  and workshops for individuals, public media, nonprofits and universitiesOnline courseProduction

The series explores the case of Leo Schofield, a man convicted of murder in a gross miscarriage of justice. King, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Devil in the Grove, and Decker, a producer with a background in sociology and oral history, came together in a four-year quest to peel back the layers of Schofield's case, uncovering startling new evidence and chilling confessions that are a call to action for long-awaited justice and redemption.Takeaways from Gilbert King and Kelsey Decker1. Does your idea need to be told in audio? Bone Valley did.  As storytellers, we have many formats to choose from. So how do you know when your idea is well-suited to audio, versus a book, a film, or a video? As an author, King's first instinct was to write a longform article about Leo Schofield's case. But as soon as he and Decker talked with Leo, they realized that the story begged for audio. “The power of their voices made us pivot,” King says. “I don't think they would have been the same in print. I love the way their voices break and crackle and emote.”2. Start with a sound visionSecond, you may have noticed that King and Decker had a pretty clear “sound vision” for Bone Valley. I always remember producer John Barth saying, in episode 2, “You have to have a distinctive sound vision.” When he develops a new show, he imagines the kind of listener he wants to attract. That determines what the show needs to sound like. In Bone Valley, the two producers made sure to simply lay out fact after fact, so the listener couldn't escape the conclusion or emotion. They used both sound design and language to create a work of narrative nonfiction and made sure not to sensationalize or cheapen the story. Furthermore, Decker could hear how the narration should sound in her head. She and other  producers directed King to voice the narration to match that sound. And sound designer Britt Spangler attended story conferences – and helped shape the scripts from the start.3. Podcasts are a team sportGilbert King won a Pulitzer for his book Devil in the Grove. So you might imagine he had nothing else to learn as a writer. But he'd never done a podcast before. His early drafts were written for the page, with too much narration, and quotes, which don't work in audio. When he and Decker hooked up with the production company Lava for Good, he learned from their producers how to write for the ear. Subscribe to Sound Judgment, the NewsletterWant more of this kind of audio storytelling analysis?

And you might have heard that there's an unwritten 30-second rule – that's all the time you've got. But you can get away with a lot longer lead if you create suspense. How can you voice a script naturally, and avoid that awful “readerly” quality? Take a tip from Laura's Broadway actor brother:  Stop focusing on the words in every sentence. Instead, focus on the whole thought you're conveying.  At some point, you'll need to grapple with how much of yourself to share with your listeners. This is a big part of finding your voice. There are huge payoffs to sharing parts of yourself…and this is a question that you may need to wrestle with over and over again.More takeaways coming soon! Credits Sound Judgment is a production of Podcast Allies, LLC. Host: Elaine Appleton GrantProject Manager: Tina BassirSound Designer: Andrew ParellaIllustrator: Sarah Edgell
