“What the podcast novelists do isnt all that different from what self-publishers do. We put the books out in different formats, but the goal is the same: build an audience and attract a publisher.” BookDifferentSelfGoalAudienceNovelistsPublishersFormat Author:Jeremy Robinson
“However, I think that sometimes when shows do, you know, have a good season or a bad season, it comes down to something as simple as the crop of contestants that year, and do they break through in a way that makes the audience excited. Those are the kinds of things that tend to make a difference, more so than tweaks to the format and that sort of stuff, as much as we, obviously, would all like to try to assume that it's in our power.” ThinkingKnowsWayTryingYearsKindSometimesShowsStuffDifferencesSimpleBreakAudienceSeasonsAssumingExcitedMaking A DifferenceDo You KnowCropsFormatBreak ThroughTweakContestants Author:Dan Cutforth
“Larry and I, and a bunch of our colleagues, were sitting on great stories that needed to get out to an audience in one way, shape or form. We've both produced comics in the past, and audio dramas seemed like a similarly interesting option, the other side of the coin. As we've continued with the project, the format has become a vital way for us to tell our stories.” WayStoriesPastFormSidesInterestingAudienceNeededDramaShapesProjectsSittingBunchOne WayColleaguesCoinsFormatLarryAudio Author:Glenn McQuaid
“The format's limitations are its strengths. We can't show you the monster, but why would we want to? Your imagination is a darker and scarier place than anything that can get generated on a computer. Asking the audience to use their imaginations makes it a much more personal and interactive experience.” WantUseShowsImaginationAudienceComputerAskingMonstersLimitationFormatInteractive Author:Glenn McQuaid
“My major contribution to the format was to suggest that I be able to step out of the plot and speak directly to the audience, and then be able to go right back into the action. That was an original idea of mine; I know it was because I originally stole it from Thornton Wilder's play Our Town.” KnowsIdeasPlayAbleActionSpeakStepsAudienceMinesMajorsTownsOriginalsContributionPlotFormatOriginal IdeasWilderOur Town Book:Gracie/Caeser Spec Ed Source: Gracie/Caeser Spec Ed
