RAIN Summit Europe complimentary tickets, behind the scenes at The Allusionist, and messing up a live show

• Event: 6th annual RAIN Summit Europe: Nov 7, London, UK. See below for complimentary tickets.

• Otis Gray from The Hungry Podcast posts about when his live podcast went wrong - things I messed up so you won’t. Easy to share positive experiences; less so negative ones. Useful read.

• The excellent Helen Zaltzman from The Allusionist wonders if anyone would like to know how she makes the show. People ask lots of questions. On editing: “I’ve always preferred having a finite amount of material, then refining it to be the best version of itself. I want to take out as much as I can, while leaving in enough that the episodes aren’t incomprehensible.”

• The Ultimate Guide To Why Podcast Sponsorships Are A Waste Of Your Time, an opinion piece from Jeremy Enns of Ascetic Productions.

• Thinking of making a podcast? Ten tips from a veteran producer, Steve Campen. “Offer something unique, that adds value in terms of entertainment, information or both.”

• Ira Glass and the Unbearable Voice of Elite Podcasting - an opinion from Isaac Simpson. “The hosts speak with a disaffected, effete sort of vocal fry that sounds like they barely had the energy to drag themselves out of bed that morning … a brazen attempt at a sort of lackadaisical, can’t-be-bothered cool.”

• ABC Radio - the US one - produces a six episode crime podcast designed to be marketing for a TV show at the end of November.

• We linked to this video earlier, but here’s Edison Research linking to their own Megan Lazovick speaking at Next Radio about “the pod people”.

• Event: Podfest Multimedia Expo Orlando 2018: Feb 8-10 2018, Orlando FM, USA.
