With the explosion of podcasts in recent years, you may have been wondering: who writes these? Turns out, plenty of podcasts have a writers' room not unlike TV - a whole new avenue for you as a writer to work on stories, get credit for your work, and create a resume that can help move your career forward in other ways.
Before diving into writing your podcast sample, though, join us for this webinar with podcaster (and Roadmap Success Story) Courtney Kocak to learn how writing for podcasts differs from writing for the screen.
This 90 Minute Webinar Will Cover:
- Writing for audio vs. visual storytelling
- Formatting, structure, and pacing
