the artists of hill house podcast info

The Artists of Hill House is a bi-weekly podcast featuring discussions with the recipients of the Crosshatch Center for Art & Ecology's Artist Residency Program. The podcast will present interviews with current and past resident artists, and highlight some of their work. The podcast will also provide news and updates on the alumni, previews of their new works and information on the artists' upcoming events.

Podcast Format

•Each episode will begin with an interview of a resident that highlights their work. Artists are encouraged to share examples of what they are working on with our audience. These samples may be recorded live during the interview or provided later by the artist(s) for inclusion in the segment. 

•The middle section will highlight a Hill House alum and follow the same trajectory as the opening segment.

•The podcast will conclude with alumni news, such as awards and reviews, and will also provide notices for upcoming events, such as openings, performances and new releases––basically anything that the artists wish to share. 

•All participation by the artists is voluntary.

Podcast distribution

•The podcast will be available on SoundCloud, PRX, embedded on my website and possibly Crosshatch’s site, and promoted on social media. I will also produce short, interstitial teasers to maintain distribution continuity during off-weeks.

•Everyone will be encouraged to download, link to, embed and share the podcast and collateral content with their friends, fans, critics, agents, the press and others. The use of permalinks will make it easy for the artists to include interviews and web extras in their Electronic Press Kits.

•I am going to produce tighter versions of the podcast segments to pitch to local NPR stations and upload to PRX, and I will also produce quirky sonic IDs to give to the local NPR stations to increase the chances of getting the artists on the air.
