Release Schedules. Crowdfunding

Author: UberDuo Podcast Network July 8, 2015 Duration: 47:32
The big news in Audio Drama this week was the funding of We’re Alive: Lockdown on Kickstarter. They raised nearly $5000 over their $50,000 target with over 1000 listeners pledging money to ensure that the project will go ahead. We discuss what this means for the medium, and if it validates a mainstream demand for quality and consistently released Audio Drama.

How does a independent Audio Drama production achieve a goal like this? There’s no real shortcuts. It takes years of hard work, patient growth, and becoming a huge part of your listeners’ routines and lives. For more information on the background of this project check out interviews with Kc Wayland on Radio Drama Revival and The Sonic Society.

Spanning from this topic was a discussion on release schedules, and how it relates to building an audience that will be prepared to support you further in crowdfunding projects. If a monthly release schedule is the minimum expectation for building traction, can you achieve this on your own? Should you attempt it on your own?

For anyone who has ever been captivated by a story told only through sound and wondered, "How do they do that?"-this is for you. The Audio Drama Production Podcast, from the UberDuo Podcast Network, is a deep, practical dive into the craft of building worlds with audio. It moves beyond simple advice to explore the entire process of bringing fictional narratives to life in your ears. Each episode tackles the specific, often unspoken challenges of writing for the ear, directing voice actors, designing immersive soundscapes, and weaving it all together in the edit. You'll hear about the technical choices behind convincing ambiance and the narrative techniques that make characters feel present in the room. Whether you're a writer curious about scripting without visuals, a producer figuring out remote recording sessions, or a creator wondering how to distribute your finished work, this podcast serves as a constant workshop. It’s a resource for making any form of audio fiction-call it a radio play, an audio drama, or a fiction podcast-focusing on the tangible skills and creative problem-solving required from initial idea to final master. The discussions are grounded in real production experience, offering a clear path through the complexities of this unique storytelling medium.
