How To Create And Market A Fictional Podcast Series!

Adam Murciano is the founder of 911 Podcasts. In just the 2 years we’ve been out, we have launched three full-cast fictional podcast series: CASCADIA (Sci-Fi), ICE-CREAM (Horror), and our recent one SUPERMARKET (Sitcom). In total, our series have accumulated close to a million global downloads, reached #1 on Apple Podcast Fiction Charts, Top 10 on Spotify Podcasts US charts, been featured by Spotify as “Best New Series” in 2022 and got to headline a panel at the 2022 Toronto Comicon with our cast!

In this workshop, Adam will take you through every step it takes to create a fictional podcast! From:

– Writing process (How to write for fiction audio and when do you know your script is ready to record?)
– Casting (How to find the perfect cast. Working with the actors union, ACTRA or perhaps working with child actors).
– Recording Process (The obstacles of remote recording, live-room recording and keeping continuity throughout the process).
– Editing (How to make your show immersive/3D & exciting to listen too – this also includes scoring and how silence in a scene can be very powerful).
– Coverart /Hosting/Packaging/Release Scheduling (The secret on how to have a strong launch and getting your show on Apple homepages).
– Press! Press! Press! (How to use visuals and social media to your advantage to get the word out).
