The Sound Women Podcast: Mentoring

Helen Zalztman takes us on a journey through American Audio. We meet Andrea Silenzi - presenter and creator of Why oh Why? and producer on commercial podcast network Panoply - as she navigates exciting opportunities becoming available in the industry. Sarah Geiss from Chicago's Third Coast Festival shares her tips on getting your work heard internationally. Ann Hepermann of The Sarah Awards tells us why 'audio-fiction' is the next audio-frontier. And 99% Invisible's Katie Mingle talks to Helen about what goes into making a show (clue: more wikipedia research than you'd think).
