🗓 Saturday October 17, 2026

📍 The Studio

Speakers:

Jess Schmidt, Podcast Producer & Consultant


Description:

The real work of storytelling happens before way before you sit down and hit record. This workshop covers the full pre-production process - idea development, the art of the preinterview, how to use an outline, and the important of research - so you can walk away with a real, concrete plan for your next project (not just inspiration).
