Jumping Into The Fray: Member stations making new noise in the podcast arena (2018)

Podcasting has shaken up the way public media reporters & journalists tell stories - in some deeply exciting and innovative ways!

How can audio producers in public media, including member stations outside of major markets, continue to innovate storytelling formats - even while taking risks, or working in uncharted stylistic territory? And - how can local public radio stations jump into the fray too, hooking national audiences on stories that they can uniquely report, in their own backyard - and with increasingly fresh takes?

At the 2018 Third Coat Conference, Maureen McMurray of New Hampshire Public radio dove in with panelists from three outstanding narrative podcasts in public media: Jeannie Yandel & Jim Gates of Battle Tactics for Your Sexist Workplace (KUOW), Erika Aguilar of The Bay (KQED) and Shannon Heffernan of 16 Shots (WBEZ).
