IGDA Podcast Working Group

Call for Participation

The IGDA is seeking to produce a podcast covering topics relevant to the membership and highlighting the work done by the IGDA Board, SIGs, Committees and Chapters. In addition to this, the podcast may contain interviews with key people in the industry and conversations between IGDA members on topical issues.

The IGDA is seeking interested participants to join a working group leading towards the launch of the podcast. This group will contain members with skills in planning, audio-production/musicans, voice-talent/contributors and people interesting in producing periodic and occasional content.

Some training will be provided for participants without previous experience.
