Virtual Conferences

When: Thursday, October 29th, 2020 at 2:00pm Eastern

Audio Podcasts are a great way to take your digital product to the next level and connect with your audience.

Whether you're launching a podcast geared toward a specific topic or purpose, or you're hosting a more generalized radio-style round up of the latest headlines from your newspaper, a podcast can be an effective marketing tool and can lead to additional streams of advertising and revenue that simply don't exist in the print product. The best part? Getting your podcast off the ground and out to your listeners is fairly quick and inexpensive!

Our-Hometown CEO Matt Larson will be joined by Tom Lappas of the Henrico Citizen, who along with his staff and partners have now launched three new podcasts within the past year and are hoping to continue to expand sponsorship opportunities as their listener base grows moving forward. Together, they'll discuss what it takes to get started in podcasting -- everything from what kind of equipment is needed to what solutions are available for distributing your podcast to listeners.

If you've thought about launching a podcast for your newspaper, you won't want to miss this conference!
