About the Class:

Talk radio, NPR, Audible…and now podcasts. Wireless devices now let us take audio content anywhere we go, and we are now ‘listening’ to our books and content more than ever. Podcasts have become a major part of popular culture, with live tours, fan clubs, merchandise, memes, and even in crime solving!

In some ways, it’s like blogging has jumped into the audio format. So Lamb’s Laws of Branding still apply, but there are craft and technical differences we need to be aware of when we write, then produce a podcast.

In short, we need to know the business of our business.

About the Instructor

Cait Reynolds is a USA Today Bestselling Author and lives in Long Beach, California with her very patient husband, a cranky old rescue mutt named Horseradish, and two insane Basenji puppies, one of whom is close to taking over North Korea, and one with existential despair.

She likes history, astronomy, Jack Daniels, jewelry, pasta, and solitude. Not all at the same time. She has worked hard to develop a good relationship with the NSA agents in the van outside her house. They now understand that her Google searches and Amazon wish list are purely for research purposes.

Cait is also the co-host of the ‘divinely funny’ podcast, Drunk Mythology Gals, which severely limits which of her book characters she will be hanging with in the afterlife.
