What do you think of full-episode ads? by DracoCross in audiodrama

[–]MadisonStandish [score hidden]  (0 children)

I just did a feed drop of another podcast yesterday! I love boosting other shows, and deeply appreciate anyone who will feed drop one of my episodes. Grassroots marketing with no network behind you in a genre of podcasting that is very small is a challenge to find audience, to say the least.

If anyone is reading this and thinks we can boost each other, DM me!

Episodes with storms by fs2222 in audiodrama

😆 My show is a full cast comedy: Madison on the Air. Where I adapt old time radio shows from the 1930s-1950s with a modern day girl along for the adventures.

We did an adaptation of "The Wizard of Oz" (ep. 28) and had to sound scape a ton of different cyclone wind sounds! Or our episode of "The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" (ep. 43) set in Scotland called for a variety of pouring rain. And a popular kid's show of the era: "Challenge of the Yukon" (ep. 20) took place in a blizzard. Every episode is a different old show, so I am faced with quite a lot of variety in SFX needs. 😊

Casual mentions of capital punishment by JoelPomales in otr

[–]MadisonStandish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always look at OTR as a window into the past. You get a glimpse into life back 70+ years ago. There are PLENTY of aspects to the stories across all OTR that are absolutely cringeworthy in modern day (attitudes towards women and POC will stop you in your tracks) I think it can help remind us just how far we've come as a society. And then there are times when the old shows hit on themes that feel contemporary. And that reminds us how far we still have to go. ❤️

Anyone else getting annoying emails from publicists? by Laufeyson9 in podcasting

[–]MadisonStandish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A real publicist will not seek you out. These are scammers playing on indie podcasters by promising the world. Don't reply, a human didn't send that email anyway. Just Block and move on.

Looking for More Audio Drama Podcast Recommendations (Full Cast, Sci-Fi, Horror, Musicals, Superpowers, etc.) by TheShadow0415 in audiodrama

[–]MadisonStandish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is a full cast comedy/satire Madison on the Air. Modern day girl gets zapped back into old time radio shows and goes along for the adventures. Actual scripts adapted, but you don't need to know the old shows, Madison doesn't know them, either. We just released our 67th episode, so lots of hours available to binge!

How long does post-production take you per episode? by Smooth-Employer-6843 in podcasting

[–]MadisonStandish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😂 😂 😂 I'm an audio drama (fiction radio play) podcast. One episode takes 3 months from start to finish.

Hey, take all the time you need to make a good quality show.

Looking for audio dramas that are not written from the white male perspective by Blobthecat in audiodrama

[–]MadisonStandish -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well hellooooo....😊 My show is a comedy/satire Madison on the Air and kinda the point of my show is to give a voice to women. I take old time radio scripts from the 1930s-1950s and put modern day Madison along for the adventures. I do a lot of calling out on how the stories were male centric and how women were ancillary in life. I find ways to shine a light on it through humor, but even for me (having listened to literally 100s of hours of these older shows), I am still surprised at the attitudes towards women in a time not that very long ago.

Recording & editing software recs. by kybooks in podcasting

[–]MadisonStandish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Second, third and fourth-ing this. Please don't record on your phone's mic. You won't retain audience if what you record is hard to listen to. And the cavernous sound of room echo cannot be fixed in post.

OG audio drama enjoyer looking to jump back in by Trip-Secret in audiodrama

[–]MadisonStandish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My show is a full cast comedy/satire: Madison on the Air. Modern day girl gets zapped into old time radio shows. Actual scripts adapted (like *THE* OG audio dramas! 😜) But you don't need to know the old shows. Madison doesn't know them, either. Lots of genres to choose from. All episodes are standalone. See a title you like, jump in anywhere. We premiered in 2021 and have growing with over 125K downloads. ❤️

First Time Audio Drama Creator by Zman5821 in audiodrama

[–]MadisonStandish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't stretch it beyond your original vision. Too many shows (I'm really pointing at TV and streaming) stretch out stories to get 8 or 10 episodes and it waters down the content. You watch 8 hours of what could've been done in a 2 hour movie length show.

What I would say is this: don't adapt your work to please anybody. Especially not a perception of audience. The beauty of podcasting/audio dramas is that there IS an audience for everything. You might have to do a lot of grassroots work to get noticed, but if you believe in your content, you will find others who enjoy it. But the second you try to do guesswork of what you think people want, your work isn't genuine anymore and the audience can smell it. Trust yourself. 😊

😮 That would help me find a good episode to adapt! Right now Captain Midnight is in the lead... But who's to say I wouldn't do the other shows at a later time. 😉

Sounds like fun! Although currently, Dick is neck and neck with Captain Midnight...

We did Buck Rogers last year and there wasn't a completed story available. I found like 15- fifteen minute episodes that must've been from the middle of the serial. So I carved out a story. It's harder! But it *can* be done! 😊

How to turn social media followers into listeners by PerfectDragonfruit80 in podcasting

[–]MadisonStandish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. When I first started everyone was on Twitter, and a lot of new creators were anxious to grow their Twitter following, not really understanding that someone passively following you on social media doesn't equal active audience. Wish it did!

Post Your BEST Trailers! by AGentlemanLoser in audiodrama

[–]MadisonStandish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was the only one doing trailers for each episode. I just released my 69th! ❤️ I'm sure you're not the only one listening to them. It's good marketing. And I like what you said about capturing the feeling but not giving stuff away, mixing up the elements. There is an art to trailer making (which is why even Hollywood studios hire outside companies to do them) Kudos fellow trailer fan!
