Podcasting For Non-Profits - Is it worth the effort?

Season 1 | Episode 1
45m | Mar 5, 2024

What does it take to launch and grow a podcast at a community-based arts organisation?

And is it worth the effort for non-profits?

As CEO of Greenwich Dance, Melanie Precious hosted five seasons of the dance podcast Talking Moves.

Launched as a vehicle to connect with dance artists, the show expanded the reach of Greenwich Dance beyond its South London base, giving scope for conversations with renowned national and international figures such as Karthika Naïr, Sir Nicholas Hytner and Tarek Iskander.

In this episode of The Content Mavericks Club, Melanie describes how Talking Moves generated input as well as output, feeding back actionable ideas to Greenwich Dance that shaped its trajectory as an arts charity.
