Join our women's network for a Podcasting 101 with Caron. You probably have almost everything you need to get your voice out there!

Thinking about starting a podcast but put off by the equipment, software, editing and production costs?

Podcast production can seem unnecessarily complicated, particularly when professional services present it as a substantial technical undertaking.

But for many small businesses, creatives and independent professionals, the technology they already own is more than capable of producing a podcast worth listening to.

Join creative producer and digital technologist Caron-Jane Lyon for a 45-minute introduction to getting a polished podcast recorded and published without unnecessary expense or complexity.

Drawing on her experience of producing podcasts, livestreams and digital content, Caron will share a straightforward approach to podcast production, explain what you actually need and identify which parts of the process you can confidently manage yourself.

We'll look at the journey from recording a conversation on your phone to making it available on major podcast platforms, with a few practical tips for achieving a result you're happy to share.

Caron-Jane Lyon is a creative producer, technologist and founder of PCM Immersive Staging, based in the East Midlands. With a background spanning theatre, digital media, live streaming and hybrid events, Caron helps artists, businesses and organisations use technology to connect with audiences and share their stories.

Caron’s podcast production experience includes projects for Cromford Mills’ Arkwright Society and independent creative organisations, supporting everything from initial planning and recording to editing, publishing and distribution.

She is particularly interested in making digital production accessible, practical and achievable for smaller organisations and independent creatives.

Exclusive Offer for Blue Stockings Subscribers

While it is perfectly possible to do your podcast on your phone, sometimes it's finding a quiet space that's a challenge! Jenni will show us round the facilities at the Createry and is offering Blue Stockings Subscribers (who book time before the end of the year) £60 for 4 pay-as-you-go hours, saving £20. Podcast studios are usually over £100/hour + equipment, so it's a huge saving and then discounted on top. They also have equipment people can just use with their phones if they want to minimise the tech stuff but still have high quality sound and the studio look.

TICKETS

It is best to attend this meeting in-person but online tickets are available if you can't. Blue Stockings Subscribers pay a monthly fee of £2.50 and get discounted or free tickets to meetings.
