With millions of podcasts ready to listen to, it can feel daunting to begin your journey as a new creator. How can you stand out from the crowd? This episode we talk to Dan Misener, the Broadcaster in Residence at RTA's Allan Slaight Radio Institute to learn about podcast packaging, how podcasters can find their niche and reach their target audience. From the epic journey of the Canadian curling team, to the very different experiences of immigrant sisters, to dismantling toxic masculinity in Star Wars, we’ve got a wide range of projects for you to listen to and some really talented students to meet along the way.

Not Two Guys Talking About Star Wars - Haylee Thompson (RTA 996 W2021)
You’ve heard it a million times before. “Rey isn’t a Skywalker,” “Star Wars was ruined by feminists,” “You probably pretend to like Star Wars to get guys.” The usual, two guys talking about Star Wars content. This is NOT that kind of podcast. Join host, self proclaimed Star Wars superfan and feminist Haylee Thompson as she explores the Star Wars universe through the female gaze including its characters, storylines and various new projects. In this feature project we’ll listen to possibly one of the best podcast openings EVER.
