047 - Audio Drama on Spotify, changing DAWs, & more on audio storytelling

Published: May 28, 2015, 10 a.m.

b'There was some pretty big news in the podcasting world last week as Libsyn (via their own podcast The Feed) announced that they were partnering with music streaming giants Spotify. By the sounds of it, podcasts will be available on the service by the summer of 2015, which means that you could soon have your own audio drama listed on there, alongside their estimated 70 million users.

Elsewhere, we\\u2019re chatting about DAWs. Digital Audio Workstations. Those awkwardly named, but essential pieces of software we use to put our shows together. Which one do you use? Have you ever switched from one to another, and why?

And if you listened to episode 45, you\\u2019ll have heard part one of the Sonic Society\\u2018s Jack Ward talking about what makes an audio story. Well you can hear part two in this very episode. Where does your own show fit into Jack\\u2019s Octahedron? You\\u2019ll find a transcription of this segment at the bottom of the page, and clips heard were from One by One, The Woman in the Basement, Biological Clock, and Escape from New York.

Other shows mentioned on the show were The Once & Future Nerd, Alba Salix Royal Physician, Hidden Harbor Mysteries, The Table Round, and the Hadron Gospel Hour.

Finally, we\\u2019re backing Neil from Twilight Audio Theatre to reach his Kickstarter goal of $650. He\\u2019d like to use it to pay his talent, and he\\u2019s an all round nice guy, can you lend a hand by making a small contribution? Oh and check out his podcast The Geeking too, there\\u2019s some great audio drama related content on there.'
