World's First Daily Podcast For Writers Launches
(PRWEB) -- LITOPIA DAILY, The World's First Daily Podcast For Writers, Launches On June 7th.
Six months ago, Litopia Writers' Colony launched the world's first
weekly panel show for writers -- LITOPIA AFTER DARK. Hosted by literary
agent Peter Cox, the show quickly attracted rave reviews (winning an
unequalled 9.5 marks out of ten on the review site Podwatch). Every
week, thousands of listeners download LITOPIA AFTER DARK shows --
making it one of the fastest-growing podcasts in the world. Guests have
included some of the most exciting and innovative figures in writing
and publishing.
Building on that success, Litopia Writers' Colony is proud to launch
the world's first daily podcast for writers -- LITOPIA DAILY. Says host
Peter Cox:
"With things changing so quickly in the publishing industry, it makes
sense to produce a short, daily podcast where writers can get their
daily fix of news, comment and -- we know what you like --
entertainment, too. LITOPIA DAILY is going to be succinct and to the
point -- it'll give you what you need to know when, or before, you need
to know it. Like a morning coffee, it'll set you up for the day!"
INTRODUCING -- THE OPEN INBOX
"LITOPIA DAILY is in the vanguard", says Peter. "So, as you'd expect
from us, we're doing something very radical indeed. We call it -- the
Open Inbox."
Litopia's Open Inbox is a simple web address that allows
contributors to drop anything into the inbox… notes… pictures… faxes…
phone messages… and e-mails, of course. "We go through our Open Inbox
several times every day, looking for great material to include in the
next day's show" says Peter.
"Not everything will make it", he adds, "but material that's witty
and original -- and short and sharp -- stands a very good chance of
getting included."
Eve Harvey, Podcast officer for Litopia Writers' Colony, explains
how contributors will use it. "You might want to send us a note about
your new book that's coming out", she say. "Or send us a press release.
Or, you might want to record a phone message to give a comment on
yesterday's show. Yes -- the Open Inbox will take phone calls, too! Or
maybe you'd like to upload a file of some kind -- perhaps, an audio
file for possible inclusion in LITOPIA DAILY."
Litopia's Open Inbox uses cutting-edge technology pioneered by Drop.io. Simple instructions are given on the page here: http://www.drop.io/litopia
The new show launches its public beta schedule from June 7th. "We're
feeling our way," says Peter, "just as we did with LITOPIA AFTER DARK,
which took some months to naturally evolve. I don't think listeners
will mind a work in progress to begin with. We really do want LITOPIA
DAILY to become an important part of your writing life on the internet.
And we hope that our listeners will become an active part of this very
exciting new venture!"
