Lunchtime Learning: All About Podcasts

Podcasts are trending UP! Listened to by more than 450 million people worldwide. They help people build platforms and audiences, market programs and products, and generate revenues. We’re delighted to invite you to a timely Lunchtime Learning session on the topic on Wednesday, March 27. Hear from two special guests, Katie Sparks of The Audio Agency Ltd. and LeAnna Weller Smith of Weller Smith Design, as they share insights about how podcasts can benefit all members of the creative community. From offering proposals that provide full programs beyond printed books — including e-books and ancillary products and audiobooks and podcasts — to using podcasts to promote your work or provide summarized information to clients, Katie and LeAnna will show that the bar for entry is low, and the potential benefits are unlimited.
