Overview
New Zealanders are spending more time listening to podcasts than ever. For comms professionals, that’s not just a trend to note — it’s an opportunity to act on.
This free breakfast seminar is for PR and communications professionals who want to change that. Brought to you by Crescendo, it’s a practical, fast-paced morning built around one question: what does it actually take to make a podcast that people want to listen to?
Your MC is Kate Roger — producer and host of the New Zealand Film Commission podcast Lights, Camera, Kōrero, and a reporter who has interviewed some of the biggest names in film at premieres and awards ceremonies around the world. She knows what makes a compelling listen, and she’ll bring that to the room.
You’ll hear from two working podcasters on the craft and strategy behind great audio, see how a real podcast was developed from brief to broadcast, and work through a practical framework you can take straight back to your organisation.
You’ll leave with a concrete next step, not just inspiration.
Hosted by Crescendo, a NZ podcast production company that reinvests its commercial revenue into youth mentoring and training for rangatahi Māori. Registration is essential. Light breakfast provided. Places are limited to 40.
