Do you know who you’re making your podcast for? No, really - can you picture the specific listener who connects with your show in a deep and meaningful way?
This interactive workshop introduces attendees to the skills they need to design a more focused podcast–one that puts the audience first. Using Design Thinking, also known as Human-Centered Design, participants will work in groups to come up with and prototype a new podcast concept that starts with the listener. We’ll also learn from real-life examples used by participants in Project Catapult and the Google Podcasts creator program.
Whether you’re looking for a new podcast idea or want to make your current show stronger, participants will leave with tools and mindsets to apply to your own podcast.
