This month, the amazing craft site Etsy is focusing on podcasting, and they’ve spotlighted Generation PRX all across etsy-land.

First, GPRX Project Director Jones Franzel and Youthcast host Kiera Feldman share DIY tips for getting started in radio:

“While [Generation PRX] was started for youth radio producers, new producers of any age can visit the site for DIY tutorials, online audio workshops, and resources. Like Etsy, it’s a place where a community of people who love to make things share tips and advice.”

Next, Radio Rookies producer Jaimita Haskell joins Jones and Kiera for an interview on how new voices are changing the public radio marketplace.

“There’s a quote from Gwen Macsai that sums up my feelings well. She hosts Re: Sound — a terrific show on Chicago Public Radio. On a DIY radio site called Transom, she writes, “Radio is my first love and like a first love, no matter how far you stray and no matter how badly it ended, your heart still skips a beat when it walks through the door.” Isn’t that great?”

And be sure to tune in this Wednesday, March 12, at 1 p.m. (EST) for a live online workshop. Jones, Kiera, and Jaimita will hold a webcam lab to talk about all things indie radio production. No production experience required!
