Online Workshop
Cost

Registration Closed

You only have a couple of minutes to convince a listener to stick around for your whole episode and not delete it from their phone, so what do you need to do to hook them in during those first 2-5 minutes? What are the questions you need to answer for the listener in that brief period of time?

Join award-winning producer Jocelyn Gonzales as you listen to and analyze some examples of how various shows handle this introduction to topics, hosts and guests. Jocelyn will walk you through the basic ingredients necessary for a compelling top and teach you how to use the combination of writing, production elements, scoring and format to hook listeners and keep them engaged. 

Note: Attendees will need a  brief sample of descriptive opening text for their show, and 2-3 potential music clips for a mock-up exercise.

You will be emailed a link to the workshop two hours before it begins.
