“What can I accomplish in this media that cannot get made literally anywhere else?” -@itsellenwinter

Early drafts of #36questions included a narrator, and the writers found that it threw off the “intimacy” of the podcast both with the listener and within the characters’ relationship so it was eventually removed.

. @itsellenwinter on using a framing device (think audio logs/acknowledging the recording) consider “how does the device solve the problem?”

On including a narrator, @macwrites wanted to include his as his stories have a “noir-ish feel” but in order to make it feel different he made sure the narration was always in the present tense and cuts in and out of scenes with other characters.

Audience Q: “will I lose too much traction if I pause from releasing new episodes for a while? @itsellenwinter and her writing partner @ctlittler keep their audience engaged by documenting their process, even if they don’t have new episodes coming out (1/2)

They use behind the scenes photos from production, pictures of cast and creators, daily diaries and participate in #AudioDramaSunday Most audiences are excited to get to know the creators outside of the podcast (2/2)

. @GabrielUrbinaTM adds that “podcasting is built a lot on forming habits in your audience”

All the panelists seem to agree that the biggest open space in podcasting in terms of genre are romcoms! Shout out to Deck the Halls with Matrimony for being one of the shows to fill this void.
