Talking Points on Creating a PODCAST

To begin, we first determine the story you want to tell. Then we assess the source materials we have to tell the story. We determine what interviews we want to record. We record interviews and then edit to create a standalone piece. There are many layers -narration style, music, tone - to pull together. Below is a checklist of conversation topics to cover:
