Hullo there! On the latest episode of Podcraft (recorded on no fewer than eight different recording platforms, incidentally!), we ran through 16 common podcasting myths. One of those was around podcast sponsorship, and how it's in no way the only or "best" way to monetise a show. But that doesn't mean we'd discourage anyone from finding or running a sponsor. In our guide to podcast sponsorship, we get into why it might be a good fit for your show, and how much you could potentially earn. Speaking of which, you can now apply to be sponsored by Alitu or The Podcast Host and earn $25 per 400 downloads!

But sometimes, podcasting can be too effective in these situations. As creatives ourselves, it's important to give your brain some time to process all the info and ideas in...
ποΈ TUESDAY TOUCHPOINT Hullo there! Three-year-olds ask a lot of questions, and my daughter seems to be especially prolific in this area. It's quite a mismatch, really, because I'm rather deficient in knowledge or wisdom myself. But, I have a middling skillset in audio and storytelling, so I decided to make some short stories for her Yoto Player. I reworked a few old parables and fables into little audio tales.
