Short Summary
Hello. My name is Turtle. I have always dreamed about being a radio DJ, so much that I went to school for Radio and New Broadcasting. The cutthroat nature of Radio and the decline of work lead me to other ventures. Now that radio is a thing of the past, podcasting is growing exponentially and I feel that with my radio training and years of video hosting experience, I can deliver a network of exciting podcasting programming. "Why Him" you ask, I have been in the digital media industry for a decade and having my connections to the Youtube Community, Music Industry and Video Game industry, I can deliver dynamic and entertaining programming.
Some programming/shows include subjects such as:
sports, gaming, comedy, music, technology, film, tv.
What We Need & What You Get
Where is my money going? Well here is a breakdown of where your funds will go.
1.) A USB powered 4 channel audio mixer.
2.) A portable 2 channel audio recorder for mobile podcasting.
3.) Microphone(s), XLR Cables and Desktop Stands for the microphones.
4.) Podcasting Hosting, I will be using LibSyn as my host and with the additional funds, I can fund the podcast for more than a year.
5.) Website Building. I am going to use SquareSpace for my website and the funds will go to build and maintain the website.
6.) A Store, with SquareSpace, they help you build a store and I would like to have customized items for people to purchase.
7.) Original Music for intros, outros and bed music if needed.
8.) Original Artwork for each episode.
The Impact
I Can go out and buy a microphone and have a low rent version of a podcast, but what I want to do is something a bit more polished. With my background in audio and video production mixed with being an on-camera host, I believe that I can deliver a fantastic slate of shows with great hosts/co-hosts/guests. Your funding can make this happen and deliver a higher quality product with reputable names behind it such as Libsyn and SquareSpace.
Risks & Challenges
Some of the risks and challenges are being just another podcast in the slew of the ever growing market. It will be a challenge but I believe I can overcome this obstacle and deliver high quality programming for any and all to hear.
Other Ways You Can Help
I understand that people are strapped for cash these days, hell, that's why I am asking for crowd funding. One major way you can help is by spreading the word. You can hop on any and all social media and use the hashtag #FundTLBPodcast and create and generate awareness. I am not asking for a lot, but what you can give whether it be money or time, It is greatly appreciated.
