Join Selina Barker, acclaimed author, coach and experienced podcaster, for an inspiring, practical and hands-on masterclass that will take you from the very first spark of a podcast idea to recording, editing and preparing your very own episode! Selina is the author of Burnt Out, creator and host of the Audible Original series The Career Change Coach, and co-host of the hugely successful Project Love podcast, which has attracted more than half a million listens.
With a decade of experience creating audio content, Selina knows what it takes to turn an idea into an engaging podcast. Her work has been featured in The Sunday Times Style, The Telegraph, Stylist, Red and Psychologies, and she has worked with everyone from bestselling authors and recording artists to teams at Google, Apple and UN Women.
Now she's bringing her expertise, enthusiasm and creative energy to Folkestone Book Festival to help you make a podcast of your very own!
What will you learn?
Have you ever thought, ‘I’d love to make a podcast, but where on earth do I begin?’
Whether you’re a writer, a creative, someone with a story to tell or simply curious about podcasting, this three-hour workshop will demystify the whole process.
Selina will guide you step by step through developing your idea, finding your voice, recording, editing and understanding how to get your podcast out into the world.
And the really exciting part? You won’t just be learning about podcasting. You’ll actually be making one!
Bring your laptop, and by the end of the session you could have recorded and edited your very first episode, ready to publish, or simply to keep as a practice run. No previous podcasting experience is necessary, just curiosity and a willingness to have a go!
