Pitching your podcast can be a key part of getting a commission, funding, or sponsorship – but it’s also an opportunity to really understand the strengths, weaknesses and audiences of your new show idea. Ema Kwenortey will show you how to tailor your pitch to commissioners and to create a well-structured pitch that’s a template for success.
