The Power of Podcasting: Connecting with Your Audiences Through Storytelling

A host of podcasts including Serial, This American Life and Revisionist History, to name a few, have seen impressive growth over the last few years. As traditional content has splintered and slumped, audiences seeking authenticity have returned to this classic form of media for creative inspiration. With these unprecedented levels of engagement, communication professionals are tapping into the power of conversation to build awareness and thought leadership around their brands. Join PRSA Austin to learn best practices for how you can develop, execute and refine your podcast strategy whether you work for a Fortune 500 company or a nonprofit. We’ve lined up a panel of three locally renowned podcast hosts and a moderator from INK Public Relations to talk about the basics of producing a podcast, how to engage with listeners, and the top considerations for communication professionals exploring the medium.

Panelists include:
