Why should you be interested in making audio fiction? Why should you be interested in making podcasts? Discoverability, that’s why.
At first glance, this cartoon (should we call it an “illustrative essay?”) by Grant Snider, philosopher-cartoonist extraordinaire, may not seem to be about writing.
But like so many of the subtle observations Grant makes, the last panel here brings us a treasure – the secret of creativity of all kinds, just waiting for us to put it to use.
Director Antoine Fuqua, whose films include Training Day, Tears of the Sun, and Olympus has Fallen as well as a ton of very well-done others, is making a new name for himself as an online mentor and teacher.
Fuqua’s website, aptly named antoinefuqafilms.com, shows just three pages in addition to the Home Page.
Here we go, everybody. The Tools for Podcasting site (it’s really just a page
with one terrific link) has everything we all need to produce professional sounding podcasts, including – yay! – fiction podcasting AKA audio fiction, audio series, et al.
Yeppers, kids, we here at TVWriter™ are Big Believers in free, unfettered, ungatekeepered, single-handed creation, and the contents of this site, Jill Olmsted’s Tools for Podcasting book, certainly appears to be absolutely free.
Big thanks to the School of Communication, American University, for the most helpful freebie this TVWriter™ minion has seen in a lo-ong time.
LB’S NOTE: How about we call this a “time out for a personal moment”moment? The Seattle Times knows the deep but not at all dirty secret of my current place of residence. Not that Port Townsend, WA tries to hide it. Oh no! Port Townsend just plain doesn’t hide anything.
Jeff Tweedy got his cantaloupe, all right.
