It's All Journalism will be celebrating its fifth year as a weekly podcast on Aug. 4. For most of that time, we've used a generic theme song that was purchased through a rights-free website. While we liked that music, in recent days, we've come to feel it was a bit utilitarian and didn't represent who we are now as a podcast.It was time for a change.In this special podcast, Nick DePrey joins us in studio to discuss the new It's All Journalism theme music. With a musical career spanning two decades, Nick's work has appeared on NPR, Gimlet Media and KQED. In his day job, he works in Washington, D.C., as NPR's digital programming analytics manager.You might've also noticed that we recently updated our logo. That's the handiwork of cartoonist and graphic artist Carolyn Belefski.The new theme music and artwork are just two examples of how we're trying to make our podcast a better experience for you. Stay tuned for more announcements coming soon.
It’s becoming more common for podcast producers to work with composers to create an original soundtrack. At this session, producer Michael May and composer/producer Nick DePrey share their techniques for bringing a piece to life with music and sound design. Learn how to conceptualize your perfect score and communicate it to a composer. And don’t miss their live demonstration where they’ll score a piece of tape volunteered by a Third Coast participant. Recorded at the 2016 Third Coast Conference. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Nick is an Innovation Accountant, a mash-up of data, analytics, coding, running experiments, and explaining to leadership how it’s all going. He talks about what it’s like to build NPR One, the listening app created by NPR, a decades-old, non-profit media company, what he’s learned from the data about the way people listen to podcasts, and what technical skills he uses on the job.
