About this Event
Due to popular demand a second workshop date has been added!
Event Description:
Back in 2010 when most people didn't even know what a podcast was, Declan Fay started The Sweetest Plum Podcast with another comedy writer, Nick Maxwell. The show became the number one podcast in Australia, and lasted for 12 years, gaining audiences all over the world. Five years ago, he created a scripted comedy podcast called CrossBread for the ABC which was named in Apple's podcasts of the year. So he's the perfect person to help show you how to create your own podcast.
