Topic: Standing out in the (crowded) comedy podcast category

Speaker: Dave Zwolenski (Co-host, 'We Fact Up' podcast)

You'll learn:
• How to create and develop your own comedy show
• The key to finding and growing your audience
• The secret hurdles to overcome to make your show stronger

'We Fact Up' was born out of the notion that before the internet existed people would have to try and work things out for themselves when asked a question. Questions like, “What does O.K. stand for?” or “Who invented the high five?”.

Two long-time friends, Dave and Redd, ask listeners to send in questions. They then read them out on the show and attempt to work the answers out with only one rule: NO GOOGLING. Then, once they've drained the vapid well of knowledge from their already barren brains, they Google the answer and see how close they actually were. Over 70 episodes later, the show has accumulated more than 250,000 downloads and is now part of the Podcast One network.

Dave Zwolenski currently works for Southern Cross Austereo as ‘Senior Video and Podcast Producer’. Sometimes he wonders how he got so lucky to be able to do all the things he loves on a day-to-day basis, but then he stops questioning it and goes back to dreaming about cheese.
