Join us in person at the Podcast Garage in KQED for a workshop with Maya Chupkov, host, producer, creator, and editor of multi-award winning podcast Proud Stutter, to learn DIY PR tips and tricks plus what’s actually worth spending money on. In this workshop, which builds off of her first workshop from last year, Maya will lead an interactive exercise on creating your podcast story through building your brand credibility, while also learning how to leverage strategic collaborations and earned media. You will learn systemized approaches to winning on the PR front, which you'll be able to implement with your own spin. Newcomers are welcome — Part 1 is not required to attend Part 2. After the session, we will be serving light refreshments on the roof terrace!
Door opens at 6:00pm, event starts at 6:30pm. This is an in-person event and will not be livestreamed.
