Virtual Conferences

When: Thursday, April 29, 2021 at 1:00 PM EST

In this webinar, Matt Larson, president and CEO of Our-Hometown Inc, will present several case studies from publishers that are using Audio Articles to transform their newspaper into a podcast.

Using automated text-to-speech transcription tools, Audio Articles Podcast presents a turnkey opportunity for any newspaper on Our-Hometown's WordPress Platform to launch a podcast and expand their brand into the audio space.

Through a partnership with BuzzSprout, the audio articles can be syndicated to all major podcast apps and embedded as a playlist on their website's homepage.

In their latest innovation, Our-Hometown can now produce a podcast from ANY CMS if the newspaper can provide an RSS feed with the articles they want to appear as audio episodes.
