The Power of Podcasting: Finding Creative Autonomy in the Audio Form
Thursday, March 24, 2022
12:10 pm to 1:25 pm
Authors are turning to podcasting to find new audiences and expand their platform—but podcasting isn't just about promotion. A National Book Award finalist, a feature film novelist, an International Women's Podcast Awards winner, and two NYT bestselling authors talk about what podcasting gave them that publishing couldn’t: quick, consistent deadlines; tools to develop their craft; an antidote to perfectionism; and a space to connect, critique the industry, and collaborate with fellow creators.
