September 30 is International Podcast Day, and we’re excited to join this “international celebration of the power of podcasts.” You can spread the word, too, by sharing the hashtag #internationalpodcastday and doing any (or all!) of these things:
The Kobo Writing Life podcast launched in July 2013, and we’ve released 93 episodes since then. It’s been a really exciting opportunity to share interviews with bestselling authors, tips on the craft and business of writing, and advice for successfully self-publishing. It has also been a fun part of our jobs; we love taking the time to get to know our authors better, and share your stories with the KWL community.
A few episode highlights from the last four years of podcasting:
Episode 001: Steve Vernon – Where it all began! Mark Lefebvre interviews Steve Vernon, a writer and storyteller of written and spoken words.
Episode 018 – Moses Znaimer. Our most-downloaded episode to date, in which Mark interviews the co-founder and former head of CityTV, the first independent television station in Toronto, Canada, the current head of ZoomerMedia (Zoomer Magazine) and the author of The Zoomer Philosophy.
Episode 055 – Behind the Scenes at Kobo. Christine Munroe offered a sneak peek behind the scenes here at Kobo to share some insights from several teams that play a key role in getting eBooks from authors and publishers to readers.
