The inaugural My RØDE Cast competition has begun! Podcasters are invited to create and submit a 1-2 minute podcast to go in the running to win a share in $150,000 of amazing prizes. You must enter before March 12, 2019.
RØDE put together information about how to enter:
One: Download the starter pack. It has the full details of the competition, as well as a bunch of things to inspire you and help you create an awesome entry.
Two: Create your podcast. It must be 1-2 minutes long. It can be any style – documentary, narrative, chat, etc. – and on any topic you choose. It needs to be recorded as a single stereo audio file, either MP3 or WAV format.
Three: Upload your podcast on the upload page. RØDE will check to see if it meets the terms and conditions and then publish it to their podcast channel. It will then be available for everyone to listen to.
Four: Tell your friends, and get them to vote for your podcast. There’s a People’s Choice prize up for grabs.
