The day will still happen Podcasts New podcast Sci Comm Stories (http://scicommstories.com/)which has interviews with a member of the Sci Comm community @scicomm_stories(https://twitter.com/scicomm_stories) Notes from Brynley You wanna start a science podcast during the lockdown? I suggest that oyu take a look at what’s out there first (Lewis’ study)(https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/298356v7) Is there a corner for you? What’s your USP? What’s your goal? For you, for the individual listener, for the listening community at large? Think about the format. Monologue podcasts aren’t popular in general. 2 hosts talking are, but hard to keep track. Magazine syle shows popular and effective, but difficult to produce. Interview shows easy to do. Know your audience.(https://www.convinceandconvert.com/podcast-research/new-demographic-research-shows-who-really-listens-to-podcasts/) Podcast audiences skew young, university educated and with a relatively comfortable level of income - Don’t necessarily have baseline knowledge. Bear in mind that you might have global listeners. They might not be your target audience and that’s okay. Example – STEM in the Gorbals (https://twitter.com/GorbalsSTEM?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor)– highly localised, interview style show with rotating hosts. Is this format sustainable after this? Consider that for every minute of recorded material, you’ll likely do more than a minute of editing, and usually about an hour of time publishing and publicising. Recording for 60 minutes, editing for 60+ minutes, pushing for 60 minutes. Now is a very good time to record a podcast – lots of free time, latent creative energy etc. But not the best time to release a podcast – listenership numbers down. That said, also probably a good time to engage people who don’t usually listen to podcasts.
