Podcasting has become an incredibly powerful tool for communication and thought leadership. In this workshop, you'll glean key insights on how to start your podcast with the best foot forward.

This workshop is NOT a technical how-to. It is aimed at helping you prepare your content, interview guests, and present effectively.

Ian Levitt, producer & owner of Studio Americana, will discuss how to get the most out of your recordings, what to consider before recording or publishing, proper microphone technique and other key elements to a great sounding podcast.

Josey Stafford, host of the Under The Veil podcast, will delve into how to prepare yourself and your guests for an episode recording and how to approach your podcast with a mindset for success.

Bring questions! A question and answer session will follow each presenter.

Come for a tour of Studio Americana at 4pm, followed by the presentation at 4:30 with a taco bar and happy hour to follow. Tickets are limited, so check you calendar today!
