Trailer Park: The Art & Science of Podcast Trailers
Trailer Park: The Art & Science of Podcast Trailers showcases, analyzes, and helps creators craft podcast trailers. We hit play on podcast trailers and then we break them down – introducing new shows to listeners AND helping creators make their next short form masterpiece. Whether trailers precede full podcast seasons, were made as creative proofs of concept, were left in the pilot drawer, are for podcasts that have long since podfaded, or were made just for fun, they're welcome here at the park! In each episode, hosts Arielle Nissenblatt will hit 'play' on a trailer. Then, she'll analyze it. What worked? What fell short? Did the music match? Does the trailer match the rest of the show? Why do we love podcast trailers? As a podcast discovery tool To help creators get their projects funded To create learning opportunities for audio creators Hosted on RSS.com f39fac2603671ab3e27388d0fb3dadfa

Trailer Park: The Podcast Trailer Podcast teamed up with Coleman Insights this past spring to conduct the first comprehensive research study dedicated to podcast trailers. We set out to understand:
- What makes a trailer work?
- Should a trailer be read by the hosts or an announcer voice?
- Does it need to explain the entire show?
- And lot...

Famous & Gravy is a show that takes a different angle on well-known lives from modern history.
