Anatomy of a Podcast: The Gear, The Story, The Metrics

The popularity of podcasts has been steadily growing in recent years. Edison Research finds that 33 percent of Americans 12 and older have listened to a podcast, and Pew Research found the percentage of Americans listening on a monthly basis doubled between 2009 and 2015.

With the medium on the rise, how can aspiring producers get started? How can we foster a healthy environment of collaboration locally? And, as media professionals, how can podcasts enhance our storytelling?

Join ONA Sacramento for a roundtable discussion that will include podcast producers and media professionals, to discuss everything from logistics and monetization to storyboarding and social engagement.
