With the tremendous success of Freakonomics, WTF with Marc Maron, the Slate Gabfests, and more, podcasting has come into its own in the past five years. But where is it heading? How will fans hear the shows and stories they love in the next decade?

Come join us for a panel on the state of podcasting: We’ll discuss the two-way street between online audio and broadcast radio and how to sell a podcast idea to a funder or news organization. We’ll also take a peek into the crystal ball.

Bring your questions and ideas for great podcasts, and we’ll provide riveting conversation.

Space is limited, so sign up early. Register in advance

Free for CUNY J-School students and alumni. (Check your class or alumni Facebook page for the promotional code you need to register.)

opportunity for teens – Radio Diaries, NPR, and Cowbird team up for new Teenage Diaries series, deadline Nov 1

I wanted to pass along this newsletter from Joe Richmond at Radio Diaries for a couple reasons. First, if you don't already know Joe's work, you should. Second, Radio Diaries is celebrating the 16th birthday of its amazing "Teenage Diaries" series with a storytelling project on Cowbird that will eventually turn into a new Teenage Diaries series in 2013. There's a link to a step-by-step guide for getting involved below. Pass this opportunity on to the young people in your lives. -Mia

Dear Friends of Radio Diaries,
 
Teen boxer Claressa Shields says she's never gotten anything other than gold, and this weekend at the Third Coast International Audio Festival she kept her record. Radio Diaries is incredibly proud to tell you that our story about Claressa, Teen Contender, won the Gold Award for Best Documentary. If you've seen the video of Claressa accepting her Olympic Gold Medal…then you know how we feel.

Claressa Shields, 17, reacts wonderfully to becoming the firs... on Twitpic

At the awards ceremony (brilliantly hosted by our friends, The Kitchen Sisters) our favorite 17-year-old Olympic boxer coached an audience of radio producers and fans on  how to throw a winning jab. Thanks to Claressa, public radio is a little bit fiercer now. 
 
A huge thank you to everyone who helped produce this story, especially Sue Jaye Johnson, who introduced us to Claressa, as well as Samara Freemark, Deborah George, Ben Shapiro and Marianne McCune. Congratulations to all the other winners at Third Coast, a talented group that includes producers from This American Life, BBC and WNYC. You can hear all those great stories here.

 
Claressa is boxing in the Police Athletic League tournament in Toledo, Ohio this week. Photojournalist Sue Jaye Johnson is continuing to document Claressa's post-Olympic journey in a feature-length film called  T-Rex. We'll keep you posted.

CONTEST TO BECOME THE NEXT TEENAGE DIARISTS
 
Radio Diaries and NPR are collaborating with the storytelling site  Cowbird to collect new stories from teenagers. It's part of our “sweet 16” celebration of the acclaimed  Teenage Diaries project—where young people around the country are given tape recorders to report on their own lives for public radio. A group of the new stories will be featured on npr.org and two teenagers will be chosen to work with us to produce full-length Teenage Diaries in 2013.

Check out the stories we’ve collected on Cowbird so far.

We’re aiming to gather 300 new stories written, recorded and photographed by teens by November 1, and we need your help to spread the word.  Download our Teenage Diaries Step-by-Step guide with instructions on how teenagers can tell their stories on Cowbird and tips on what type of stories we’re looking for. If you'd like to learn more about this project, contact Outreach Manager Nellie Gilles. You'll be hearing a lot more about the Teenage Diaries Project soon.

 
Thanks for listening,

WAMC’s 51% wants your commentaries

You all know that I generally don't post gigs that don't pay, but I've been teaching this semester and so I have a renewed interest in finding opportunities for newbies – talented folks who have the skills and drive to succeed, but who need an audience and some clips to build their confidence to start charging a reasonable fee for their work. And so I offer this: WAMC's 51% (The Women's Perspective) wants your commentaries. Here's a note from the show's producer:

I am ALWAYS looking for good commentaries for 51%.  I have zero budget, but sometimes when someone's starting out, the money is less important than the credit.  It's no small thing to be on NPR, CBS, Sirius and AFR, and that's what a commentary on 51% gets. Themes – anything. I do not consider it a women's show – I consider it an issues show with women's points of view. You'd be surprised how difficult it can be to find women experts on things. Environment/health/politics/war/peace/community/sustainability/technology/human interest – I'm interested in all of it. So if you know of people who are interested, I am always happy to get queries and scripts.


And here's a blurb from their website:

In America, women make up more than half the population. Worldwide, women are expected to outnumber men within the next fifty years. And every issue we face is one that affects us all. 

Whether it's the environment, health, our children, politics or the arts, there's a women's perspective, and 51% is a show dedicated to that viewpoint. 

Host Susan Barnett talks to experts in their field for a wide-ranging, entertaining discussion of issues that not only fall into the traditional 'women's issues' category, but topics that concern us all as human beings and citizens of the global community.

Also note that men's voices are welcome – but since it is a women's perspective show, their topic must relate to women. For instance, the show has a regular male contributor who is doing a series on women in history. There are no specific themes – though holidays, seasonal and event-related (election, for instance) are always a safe bet. And note that if a topic is time sensitive, it needs to be submitted at least four weeks in advance as they tape early. Submissions for the show should go to sbarnett@wamc.org. Let Susan know I sent you.

Best,
Mia

    SCREENING: "Between Two Worlds" a film produced by Deborah Kaufman and Alan Snitow

    When: Wednesday, October 10,  7:00 PM

    Where: Room 105 North Gate Hall

    BETWEEN TWO WORLDS is a groundbreaking personal exploration of the community and family divisions that are redefining American Jewish identity and politics. The filmmakers' own families are battlegrounds over loyalty to Israel, interpretations of the Holocaust, intermarriage, and a secret communist past. Filmed in the United States and Israel, it explores the vital question:  Who speaks for a divided community at the crossroads?

    Q&A with the producers to follow the screening.

    Praise for BETWEEN TWO WORLDS:

    "The film's graceful, seamless, thoroughly engaging blend of family and communal history is sure to stimulate thousands of provocative conversations about the challenges of Jewish identity in the post-Holocaust era."

    -Letty Cottin Pogrebin, author & founding Editor, Ms. Magazine

    "One of the best films I've ever seen about the contradictions of American Jewish life."
    -Peter Beinart, author & journalist

    Presented by the Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life, the Joint Degree Program in Jewish Studies at GTU and UC Berkeley, the Jewish Studies Program at GTU, J Street U and Berkeley Hillel

    Where: North Gate Hall Library

Daly places the current crisis within a much broader historical context, showing how it is only the latest in a series of transitions that have required journalists to devise new ways of plying their trade.

    call for pitches – Election Advertising stories

    Hey folks. See the following message from the folks at Making Contact. They need your election advertising story pitches ASAP. -Mia

     

    ++++++++++++++++++++++

    We are planning a show to air beginning the day after the election.(November 7th)  Since we produce our programs in advance, it won’t be about the results.  Instead we want to focus on the election advertising industry—and hopefully from some angles that aren’t usually explored. 

     

    Underlying the entire show is the premise that Americans do not like the current state of election advertising—the frequency of TV ads, the number of flyers they get in the mail, never ending pop-ups online, etc.  So we are looking for pitches for sound-rich stories (generally 6-8 minutes in length) that get beyond the simple 'Enough, already!' sentiment, to look at why these ads might be bad for the nation as whole, and what might be done about it.  Some possible angles we are interested are:

     

    -the advertising industry.  How many people are employed in creating and disseminating ads?—From the script writers all the way down to the print shops that make the flyers and yard signs.  Could this be considered a ‘jobs engine’?  And if so, is this an economic boost that Americans would much rather be without?  Perhaps we could hear voices of people whose work depends on this—but maybe they don’t support what they are participating in?

     

    -are the ads even the point? What about media coverage of the ads which, arguably generates even more free press.  Or wanting to be written about as ‘out-spending’ ones opponent, making one candidate seem like they are in the lead.  This piece is veering into territory that has been covered quite a bit elsewhere (do ads actually convince voters?). So we would really want unique angles and voices.

     

    -A look at other countries that limit the length of the campaign season.  Some also have ‘blackout’ days right before the election.  How does this work?  Do people like it? Does a restricted campaign/advertising season benefit the democratic process or the tone of the campaign?

     

    -another ‘inside the ad industry’ angle to think about—a quote from Noam Chomsky:

    Elections are run by the public relations industry. Its primary task is commercial advertising, which is designed to undermine markets by creating uninformed consumers who will make irrational choices – the exact opposite of how markets are supposed to work, but certainly familiar to anyone who has watched television.

    It’s only natural that when enlisted to run elections, the industry would adopt the same procedures in the interests of the paymasters, who certainly don’t want to see informed citizens making rational choices.”

    -can any of these ideas be connected to voter suppression efforts?  We are open to other ideas as well

     

    We pay $250-300 per story, depending on the producer’s experience. As with any pitches you send us, please check out our show and read our guidelines before you pitch. http://www.radioproject.org/production/submission-guidelines/ 

    Especially important:

    Consider the following. Does the story:

    • Link grassroots issues and human realities to national or international trends?
    • Give listeners a historical, political, or social context of major national and international events?
    • Shed light on social and economic inequities?
    • Explore any alternatives or solutions?

    Please send pitches ASAP to pitches@radioproject.org

     

    Thanks,

     

    Andrew Stelzer & George Lavender
