IWPR has brought together experienced and novice podcasters from Central Asia, Russia and the UK on the site of the Hello Podcasters! Online festival.
Podcasting is just beginning to gain traction in the CA countries and has great potential for development. To exchange experiences, talk about the future and prospects of the industry, the Institute for War and Peace Reporting (IWPR) in Central Asia hosted the region’s first online podcast festival, which brought together about 200 participants from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
In this series of video tutorials, you will find recordings of the sessions. The festival took place from February 25-27 in an online format. On the first day, the participants were divided into two parallel rooms – for beginners and intermediate podcasters. Topics covered: concept development, promotion, podcast formats, the importance of audio, technical issues, analytic podcasts, monetization, and building a community around a podcast. The next two days were devoted to discussing the podcasting industry in Central Asia, meeting podcasters in the region and group work to discuss the future of the industry in Central Asia.
As part of the festival, we created the first online collection of CA podcasts. You can get acquainted with the link: https://podcastfest.cabar.asia/
