As screenwriters, we're often told to make something to show our work: produce a web series, fund your own film, or make a comic book. But a web series or an indie film is a daunting and full-time task, and not all of us have the artistic connections or drawing skills to make a comic. Luckily for you, there's a medium that will show your work off and build a platform that costs almost nothing, and that you can start right now: a podcast!
Podcasting has exploded over the past few years, and Roadmap's very own Courtney Kocak is here to teach you the tricks of the trade so you can set your podcast up for success!
This Five Week Class Will Cover:
- The different types of podcasts
- Planning the series
- Writing, producing, and recording
- Editing and post-production
- Launching the show
Courtney Kocak is a writer, podcaster, and comedian who splits time between Austin and Los Angeles. She wrote for Amazon’s Emmy-winning animated series Danger & Eggs and Netflix’s Know It All.
