| While Emily loves her tunes, I prefer podcasts. |
I'm a big fan of podcasts. I listen to them while I'm doing menial tasks, walking, catching public transport, driving and sometimes even while I sleep. I can't get enough.
What is a podcast? Put simply, it's an audio file that you can download to your mp3 player (most phones will play podcasts). Most of the quality podcasts are structured very similar to a radio broadcast or a seminar recording, but you can listen when it suits you. I first came across podcasts on education when I was studying to become a high school teacher and I've been hooked every since.
If you're new to podcasts (you can find a lot on iTunes, or go straight to the websites), here the ones I enjoy listening to:
* Katie's enthusiastic approach is addictive. Love Brain Burps.
Covers all things writing, from tips and resources to industry information and guest author, editor and agent interviews. Podcast host, author, and speaker Genny Heikka, and tech expert, illustrator and kidlit writer Aaron Robbins, share stories from their own writing journeys and discuss the real challenges and opportunities that arise in the pursuit of becoming an author.Write Out Loud
Interviews with new and experienced authors, editors, literary agents, publishers, and everyone in between.
Adventures in Sci-fi Publishing
Interviews with new and experienced authors, editors, literary agents, publishers, and everyone in between.
Adventures in Sci-fi Publishing
Interviews, panels and seminars on the world of science fiction publishing and writing.
Fifteen minutes long, because you're in a hurry, and we're not that smart.
Welcome to the Odyssey Podcasts. These podcasts are excerpts from lectures given by guest writers, editors, and agents at the Odyssey Writing Workshop.
Covers branding, agents, managers, networking, pitching and writing for features, tv, webisodes, video games, procedurals and reality.
I should probably recommend this one with a warning -- the first time you listen, you'll wonder why anyone would tune into this bunch of fellows complaining, swearing, self-promoting and laughing at private jokes. That's what I thought, but now I can't wait to tune in again.
Radio National put all their top ABC radio programs up as podcasts, so if you miss them when they're live, you can still download them! So many to choose from, but Books + and Books and Arts Daily are my pick.
Litopia Radio were one of the first podcasts I listened to all about the publishing industry. They focus more on any controversy in the news and legal issues with publishing. Last time I tuned in there was a strange political rant.
Industry news and interviews in the world of Penguin
Author interviews.
These podcasts feature a variety of author interviews, many including Australian authors.
Advice on craft and technique. Episodes are like attending a workshop on writing techniques.
Writers on Writing is a weekly radio program produced and hosted by author Barbara DeMarco-Barrett, with co-host Marrie Stone.
Videos of author talks and seminars
Every writer should have access to this website! Any grammar quesiton answered.
Ok, I know this is not on the craft of writing, but these are seriously good hypnosis recordings. Get help relaxing, relieving stress, sleeping, inspiring creativing, being more confident and much more.
Also not about the craft of writing, but excellent tips on marketing and social media use.
