Overview of the Day:
We had a great time yesterday at Media Trust! Vernaire Bass and Ryan Nile from @for_thecreators came in to show how to market our podcasts to a wider audience. We also did a small group exercise - a five-minute podcast with our surprise guest, Dalia Dias, a filmmaker, creative director and photographer. She has worked with Stormzy, Tyga, Chris Brown and many more. My team (IDK Radio) prepared the following questions for her:
1) What was your dream job when you were younger and has this changed?
2) What hurdles do you personally face and how do you overcome them?
Feedback received:
* Delve a bit more into what the guest’s (Dalia) says, as there is always more to context to add to the story. We shouldn’t be so rigid about the questions we have listed. To get stories out of the guest, the key is to listen. Listen to what is being said and ask more questions so the interviewer and the listeners can get more context. There’s always something new to find!
* Try to make as conversational as possible. Basically, we shouldn’t see it as a podcast, just a conversation between two people. We should bring our personalities to it, and enjoy it!
