Today’s podcasts are a major forum for the exchange of ideas, and many are calling this time the “renaissance of podcasting.” Born out of the marriage of public radio and the internet, podcasting has adapted to follow modern consumption patterns and the high demand for readily accessible entertainment. Podcasts are making New York City their home. The density of advertising firms, technology companies, major brands, digital media organizations, and talent has established New York City as the epicenter of the burgeoning podcast industry. New York City is home to the fastest growing podcast startups, which have doubled, tripled, and quadrupled their size in the past several years – in employment, office space, and listenership. New York City’s podcast networks are growing rapidly, reflecting the huge national audience of 42 million weekly listeners. Employment at the top New York City podcast networks has increased over the past several years, from about 450 people in 2015 to about 600 people in early 2017.

Whether you’re a non- profit weekly newspaper in a small town, or a large for-profit Fortune 500 company, you cannot rest on your revenue laurels. The large scale lay-offs we have seen at the start of 20191 are also a reminder that monetisation is a challenge for everyone. Here at What’s New in Publishing, we know that our readers are hungry for ideas and insights which can potentially help their bottom line. With that in mind, in October 2018 we kicked off a short series designed to highlight some of the key ways in which Damian Radcliffe publishers are looking to raise revenue. @damianradcliffe I originally envisaged that this would consist of one or two articles. But, as I started writing and researching this topic, that quickly expanded into a four-part series. It could easily have been more. The scope kept growing, because the deeper I dug into this topic, the more case studies and examples I found. This report brings together and updates that original series.

  • Made in Ny Podcast Certificate Program January-February • 2018
    MADE IN NY PODCAST CERTIFICATE PROGRAM JANUARY-FEBRUARY • 2018 ABIGAIL BEREOLA I’m Abigail and I’m currently a freelance writer and Books Editor at The Rumpus with interests in writing, film, and audio. Previously I worked as a Publicity Assistant at Penguin Random House. I really love podcasts--these days, friends come to me for book recommendations and podcast recommendations. I’ve produced a podcast episode with The Heart and, lately, I’ve been trying to get my feet wet with tape syncs and transcription work. I’m also working on my own independent short-form podcast series which will hopefully consist of eight episodes. The first podcast episode that really showed me what the form can do was probably The Heart’s “Movies In Your Head” (back in 2014!). Lately though, I really love Rough Translation and their episode “American Surrogate” has stayed with me. ANNA PHELAN My name is Anna Phelan and I work at TED, launching and marketing our original podcasts, and providing editorial guidance on the TED Radio Hour, of which the actual production is done by NPR. I’m originally from Ireland, where my focus was on literature and publishing. I’m drawn to audio storytelling because of its more intimate, experiential nature. I’m excited to delve into the trenches with production which I’m still new to, and ultimately I’d like to work on bringing more literary fiction to the world of podcasting. I’m going to cheat here and say that my favourite podcast episode is the No series by The Heart, which is actually 4 episodes – and if I had to narrow, episode 3, Answers.

    University of Wollongong Research Online Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts 2016 How podcasting is changing the audio storytelling genre Siobhan McHugh University of Wollongong, [email protected] Publication Details McHugh, S., How podcasting is changing the audio storytelling genre. The Radio Journal: International Studies in Broadcast and Audio Media, 14(1), 2016, 65-82. Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] How podcasting is changing the audio storytelling genre Abstract This article explores the impact of the post-2014 podcast resurgence on nonfictional audio storytelling formats. The mpe irical study comprises themed commentary by five significant US, European and Australian editors who commission and produce audio documentaries and features for broadcast and/or podcast. The article provides insights into the changing role played by public broadcasters, the growth of independent podcast networks and the perceived differences between radio and podcasting as a mode of delivering and receiving audio content. Of particular significance is the belief of senior commissioning editors that podcasting is fomenting a new, more informal, genre of audio narrative feature centred on a strong relationship between host and listener, with content that is 'talkier' and less crafted. The SU audio storytelling podcast sector is growing fast, and much of it has links to a public media ethos, but how to resource it without compromising its editorial independence remains unresolved.

    Praise for Reality Radio: Telling True Stories in Sound “Somehow in this manic digital age, Reality Radio—a mere book! —is more relevant than ever. Form and function manifest, here is the story of contemporary documentary audio, thoughtfully composed and offered straight from its most respected producers. Reality Radio is required reading for anyone at the beginning of her audio career. Or in the middle. Or finishing up. And for all invested listeners. This is radio canon.” —Julie Shapiro, executive producer, Radiotopia from prx “The essays in this book were written by people thinking with their ears.” —rick Moody, author and audio maker “[Biewen] offers a lively history of creative documentary radio in his introduction to [twenty-five] passionate, instructive, and unex- pectedly moving essays by innovative audio journalists and artists who use sound to tell true stories artfully. Invaluable and many- faceted coverage of a thriving, populist, and mind- expanding art form.” —Booklist “What is striking about this collection is how clearly the reader can ‘hear’ the diverse voices and stories, despite the print medium. A wonderful and accessible read. Highly recommended.” —Choice “An incredibly important contribution to the field of public media, one that will invite introspection, spark creativity, and hopefully teach people that the first step in learning is listening.” —Public Radio Makers Quest 2.0 “The producers who wrote these essays prove that there’s nothing more moving than real, truthful radio. I read a lot of the book in bed and soon heard the voices whispering in my ear: ‘Get up. Go record something. Now.’ You will feel the same.” — NeeNah elliS, independent radio producer and author of If I Live to Be 100: Lessons from the Centenarians “In [these] highly autobiographical essays .

  • The 100 Best, Most-Interesting Podcasts for 2016
    The 100 Best, Most-Interesting Podcasts for 2016 01/11/16 Friends: Huckberry x.ai I used to think podcasts were… not for me. But recently, I’ve been blown away with their ability to expand my horizons. Podcasts can go places other forms of entertainment (and that other e word, education) can’t: you can listen to them on your commute or as you’re falling asleep at night (no disruptive blue light!). Though I’ve been compiling a list of the top 100 websites every year for the last 5 years (and recently expanded into curating the top 100 Instagram accounts, top 100 YouTube channels, top 100 Viners among and other mega-lists), a top 100 podcasts list is new this year. But it’s something I’ve wanted to do for quite awhile now because I was really interested to see what was out there and what I could load into my favorite podcast apps: Pocket Casts. Note: this is a forward-looking list of podcasts I think you should check out over the coming year. When setting about to find the most awesome podcasts to include here I could have started with my list of ways to find the best new podcasts, but that’s not how I roll. Like my other top 100 lists, I keep track of items I find over a 1 year period and then curate that organic list into the list you see before you. It takes a lot of time and effort (and in this case I deliberately left out a few popular podcasts in an attempt to help you find something that hasn’t been thrown your way before) but I think the results are worth it.

    The Tim Ferriss Show Transcripts Episode 58: Alex Blumberg Show notes and links at tim.blog/podcast Tim Ferriss: Alex, welcome to the show. Alex? [Audio plays] Tim Ferriss: This is Tim Ferriss, and welcome to another episode of the Tim Ferriss show, where I deconstruct world class performers of all sorts of types, ranging from billionaire investors to chess prodigies to actors to writers to athletes and everything in between. In this episode, we have a real treat and it’s a two part episode with Alex Blumberg, who is very well known as a producer for This American Life, co-host of Planet Money, and also the cofounder of Gimlet Media, which has currently two blockbuster podcasts, Startup, and Reply All. And in the first part, which you're currently listening to, we are going to talk to Alex about all sorts of aspects of the business of storytelling, the art of storytelling including gear that he uses, etc. The second part is going to be an excerpt from a class that he taught on creativelive.com. It normally costs about $100.00, and I advise that company so I was able to pull out about a half hour of his teaching a class about the art of the interview, crafting the perfect question, etc. That is part two. I implore you to listen to both. I really enjoyed this. And without further ado, please enjoy Alex Blumberg. Alex, welcome to the show. Alex Blumberg: Great to be here. Thanks for having me. Tim Ferriss: And I have to start off, because we have been scheduling and I know you're racing to get a show out the door.
