Hello and welcome to the Chester Zoo Conservation Changemakers' Toolkit! In this episode we are talking about how to get your show heard! We will think about who it is for, how you create cover art, and how you can get your show in front of the right audiences!

First, we think about who would you distribute the show to...

• Is this for your local community?
• Is it only for people who subscribe to your blog/mailing list?
• Is this for everyone?

Then, we will discuss how you would you advertise your show. Talk about the importance of social media, attending events and using your connections.

Finally, we will think about cover art: what would it look like, what will make it unique, how will you produce it! To create your artwork, try using PowerPoint, Word or Canva!

• What’s the concept?
• What segments will you have?
• What will you call your show?

If you are struggling to think of ideas, why not re-listen tosome of your favourite nature podcasts and think about what makes them special! Do you like the hosts, the segments, the artwork, or something intangible like the positive energy?

Hello and welcome to the Chester Zoo Conservation Changemakers’ Toolkit! In this episode, we are covering the very basics and thinking about why you want to have a podcast in the first place! We are also going to talk about how to build your confidence, and why podcasting can be agreat launchpad for a career in conservation!

We will be thinking about three big questions to get youstarted!

• What are you passionate about?
• Who do you want to speak to?
• Why should it be done online?

These questions are important because if you cannot think ofa good answer for all of them, maybe another form of outreach would be better suited to your needs!

Hello! My name is Jack and I am a changemaker, conservationist, environmental educator, and host ofPangolin: the Conservation Podcast! My show celebrates all of the weird and wonderful creatures of the animal kingdom, as well as the amazing people working to protect them. It has been streamed in over 120 countries, and enabled me to work with incredible organisations from all around the world.

One of my major passions is helping other people to find their voice, so over the past few years I have been running podcasting workshops to help other people create their own content.

In this short series, I will be teaching you how to create a nature podcast. We will go through everything from coming up with a name to publishing your episodes and getting them heard. I will also tell you a little bit about my journey in podcasting and how I became a Changemaker!
