Podcast Workshop with Michael Thompson
Sun 6 August at 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Author Michael Thompson has been a journalist, producer and media executive for the last fifteen years. He now co-owns a podcast production company called Fear and Greed, home of Australia’s most popular business podcast.
How to be Remembered is his first novel, published in 2023 in Australia by Allen & Unwin, and in the United States and United Kingdom by Sourcebooks. It has been sold for translation into six languages, and the book has also been optioned for film by a Hollywood production company.
Michael will be hosting a Podcast Workshop as part of the Orange Readers and Writers Festival.
The workshop will be in two parts. The first part is getting started. It includes what you need, how and where you should record and getting your podcast online. The second part will cover putting it together. It includes what to talk about, episode structure, podcast marketing, and improving your content.
