Starting Aeaea, and building our four soft launch shows, has been the best work of my adult life. As proud I am of that, what really excites me, is seeing where we’re going next. I can’t wait to hear the shows that we’ll be hosting and producing.
How do you submit a show, and what are we looking for? Today I’m going to break down the basics.
Finished Show or Vague Idea?
If you’ve already recorded, edited, and mastered a podcast you can absolutely send that to us. If you just have a vague idea of a story you want to make, pitch it, and we can help make it a reality. If your podcast has already been produced we can handle marketing, social media, host/distribute it, and generally take care of the nitty-gritty details. We can also help you cast, record, edit, and master your script. Each show has different needs, and we will find a way make sure we build a working relationship that meets them.
Why Work With Aeaea?
Our commitment to podcast creators doesn’t end with producing, hosting, and marketing your show.. If you want to make a show that uses technology and programming in cool new ways, we can work with you to make that happen. We’re happy making audio dramas the same way people have for the last century, because they’re fun. But this company’s purpose is to push those limits, and explore new possibilities. Your job as a creator is to dream big, and our job is to help you realize that vision.
What Is Aeaea Looking For?
At the end of the day, it boils down to one thing, is it a great story. However, as far as guidelines go, that’s vague and not helpful. Here’s a brief list of the kinds of things that go into making a great story":
Originality: Is your story unique, does it show the audience something new and engaging?
Diversity: We are looking for creators from diverse backgrounds who can tell stories with diverse characters.
Thoughtfulness: What question does your story answer? How does it answer this question, and why is it important?
Vision: Do you know what your show is, where your show is going, and can you communicate that to others?
So if you have an idea reach out to us at submissions@aeaea.co, and come back next week when I talk about how to write that perfect pitch.
