Launching A Kids Podcast At a Public Media Station - PRX and PBS Stations

Tuesday, September, 2022

3:30 PM- 5:00 PM ET @ The 2022 NETA Conference

Public media stations are uniquely qualified to produce and launch accessible, educational podcasts. The Ready To Learn Podcast Accelerator from PRX, PBS KIDS, and CPB has been innovating with PBS stations to launch a new fleet of on-demand audio programming and podcasts for both kids and adults in their lives. In this session, we will share and illustrate PRX’s audience first approach to launching a podcast for kids and families. In addition, we will hear the enlightening stories of four different stations from across the U.S. that have participated in PRX’s design process and the podcasts that they developed for their communities, including The WNET Group, Ball State PBS, East Tennessee PBS, and KERA.

Pitching Your Podcast: Dos & Don’ts with PRX

Don’t let a good idea get lost in a bad pitch! The PRX Training Team––which has overseen multiple podcast development programs––has reviewed tens of thousands of podcast pitches over the years from across the U.S. and around the world. We know a strong pitch when we see one. Join us as we share tips for creators who want to distinguish their podcast as they approach funders, podcast publishers and networks, or even training programs and incubators. These do's and don'ts will also help to create a strong foundation for pursuing promotional and advertising opportunities. From taglines to budget lines, in this session, you’ll learn how to filter out the noise and focus on the right things in order to construct and communicate your vision effectively both on the page and in the room.
