Description:

There’s a critical step that often gets skipped in podcasting. This fireside chat will go beyond the mic, before you ever hit record, to answer the question: What are you really trying to say? What’s the story here, and why should you be the one to tell it? 

Podcast producer and storytelling strategist Jess Schmidt hosts creative powerhouses Kahstoserakwathe Paulette Moore and Israel Ekanem to explore how to prioritize values of respect, reciprocity, and relationship-first narratives in an ethical and compelling manner. We’ll discuss how to know if it’s the right story, the right teller, the right moment, and the right medium; what can be learned from interdisciplinary, intersectional storytelling techniques; and how to shape and share resonant narratives.
