Course Description

Podcasting has been a great way to connect with niche audiences for years but it’s recently become a mainstream platform to reach both niche and broad audiences. This workshop will outline why podcasting is valuable, how Duane uses it to enhance his creative practice and how he produces the Art Pays Me Podcast.

The TD Financial Literacy program for Creative Entrepreneurs provides vital career information, flash mentorship, financial literacy, and skill-building in small groups with plenty of opportunity for conversational learning and networking. These free workshops are led by successful creative and business practitioners with a breath experience and career success in the creative sector.
