Pitching your Pod

with Emmanuella Kwenortey

Podcast Maker Weekend

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.


Emmanuella Kwenortey is Assistant Commissioner at BBC Sounds.
