These days, it seems like everyone with an opinion, every influencer, and every company wants to make an interview (or chat) show. While making one may seem simple, creating a project that will grab people’s attention (in an ever-changing podcast industry) can often be tremendously challenging. In this two-part workshop, award-winning showrunner, producer, and consultant John Asante will teach you how to develop your podcast idea, create a structure and format, make sustainable production methods, and produce a show that will keep your listeners coming back for more.

  • Class meets for two Tuesday sessions at 12 pm EST: Jan 13th and 20th.
  • During the second session, students will have the opportunity to pitch their idea during a group critique.
  • This class is capped at 12.

Beginners and enthusiasts who want to learn the finer points of how to create and host a high-level, DIY interview show. Also, for independent/freelance producers who are hired to make a podcast for a client or organization that's new to the podcasting space.

Testimonials

The second session where we got to pitch our podcast ideas and get feedback from John and the others in the workshop was so helpful! It was great to have to articulate my idea and everyone's feedback was so thoughtful. It was also interesting and helpful to hear other people's ideas and how they're approaching their shows. I also appreciated all of the wisdom John shared in the first session.
