SUMMER SERIES: There’s sound and then there’s immersive audio - sound that reaches into your bones and allows your mind to paint a rich and textured story. Few know more about this style of audio than ‘Carrier’, writer and director Dan Blank, who joined us earlier this season and explained his creative process. An immersive experience is one that draws you into a new or augmented reality, largely enabled by technology. So how does podcasting, in its purely audio format, achieve this level of experience? One way is to record binaurally, a method that requires specially arranged microphones to create a 3D stereo sound sensation for the listener. Like you’re actually there. And there’s no better person to take us on this journey than Dan Blank, writer and director of the immersive podcast ‘Carrier’, so lifelike, it warns you to use caution during your journey.

If you're looking to build better brand engagement and brand awareness, podcasting might just be the medium to do that. That's according to Josh Butt, executive producer of 'Modern Babies'. Josh and co-host, Jess Hamilton, worked with Nova Entertainment to create a branded, utility-based podcast for Australian fertility group, Genea. Josh goes through the steps involved in putting the high-quality, 10-episode series together, and he discusses why podcasting in particular allows a brand to build affinity with an audience by sitting at the start of a consumer journey. He says a great thing about podcasting is you lose a lot of bias: if you hear a story about someone you'll feel differently than if you saw it, and so podcasting provides an opportunity for story-telling.
