Live series of conversations with not-for-profit-sector podcasters launches
Grab The MIC: Live, is brand-new series of live-streamed conversations with MIC Media founder and podcast expert Vic Elizabeth Turnbull and podcasters from across the not-for-profit sector.
Grab The MIC: Live spotlights the good egg podcasters who are doing brilliant things in our corner of the world. And to show you the huge and exciting possibilities when it comes to podcasts in the Third Sector.
The series, which is being streamed live on LinkedIn from 13th September, will inspire you to Grab the MIC and start your own podcast or perhaps give you some helpful hints and tips to boost or reinvigorate the one that you already have!
MIC media, who are a podcast production social enterprise that specialise in working with social impact organisations, believes that charities, CICs, Social Enterprises or any other not-for-profit can create engaging, great-quality podcasts. They don’t have to be expensive to make or boring and run of the mill!
For example, they speak to those that are using podcasts to give a voice to their beneficiaries, organisations who are showing off their incredible outcomes, or those that have answered an immediate need in their communities. Already confirmed are national educational charity Children’s University, legacy fundraising consultant Sanita Guddu, theatre organisation Made by Mortals CIC and female empowerment CIC, Inspire Oldham.
The 1st Grab The MIC: Live
On September 13th we chat with Helen O’Donnell and Liam Nolan from the forward-thinking educational charity, Children’s University. The CEO and Head of Communications sit down with us to talk about how they Grabbed the MIC and created their podcast Children’s University: Live!
The podcast, which originally started life as a way to replay key talks from their annual conference, has developed into the mouthpiece for current issues around social mobility and education. This is set to be a fascinating insight into how an education charity has Grabbed the MIC to bolster its voice of authority in social mobility and educational issues.
