Ever wanted to make a podcast? The Exchange is collaborating with leading professional podcaster, Clare Lynch, to host an ‘Introduction to Podcast Making’ workshop with the hope to develop a podcast series called ‘Erithians’. Erithians is a podcast project collecting stories about Erith and sharing them on RTM radio. The concept of Erithians aims to highlight key histories, livelihoods and stories from our Erith community in order to celebrate Erith’s culture and diversity. Erithians is a project by the Exchange in collaboration with TACO! And RTM.FM.
This introduction workshop will give you the necessary background and confidence to get started in making and planning Erithians for eventual broadcast and distribution…
