Scheduling and organizing - podcast people need help with this, and this is what Pool Artists do. Pool Artists do background work on tours and sponsoring. Pool Artists smooth the background so their podcasters can be creative.
Zeit Online is one of their suite of podcasts, the production is very similar on all of these podcasts. Pool Artists curate the many ideas for these podcasts – what do people want to listen to right? There is also a lot of planning that goes into the podcasts – you have to research, you have to write the episode and you have to plan the episode.
They built a studio which feels like someone’s bedroom – they have coffee and chocolate!
Faking Hitler is also a podcast they look after. A big scandal in Germany in the 1980s, the diaries of Hitler which were published but which were fake. The journalist who was part of this story recorded all of his phone calls from the time. Pool Artists were brought in to make this into a professional feel podcast and they knew how to tell the story. ‘We always let the content decide the length of the episode’. The background tapes, the content, the tapes and basically the teamwork on this podcast was amazing! Pool Artist know how to create an atmosphere of creativity, freedom and fearlessness to make podcasts. ‘Be as flexible and individual as the podcast you produce’.
