Podcast Marketing

i think the podcasts should walk listeners thru exhibits at Harbourfront Centre.

i think listenership (staff AND patron) could be promoted by posting some signage at the very exhibits to be featured in the next podcast.

Audio Project, Progress + Challenges

1) i have 2 voice memos to throw into the harbourfront podcast effort -- i read a bunch of the signs off the wall regarding current exhibits into my i-talk. since they are always so good and since they are not written up much in marketing materials or ever shown on the website!!!

5:12 'Through the Lens of Now'

5:22 a show of photographs and artifacts of the "crazy house on the street" i.e. how artistic workmanship of singular neighbours, in toronto creates an urban vernacular from shifting contemporary neighbourhoods. my shock and delight (with my own two cents and background stories) is captured on this with a lot of background noise as kid groups went down the hall behind me, because there were 3 "tourist attractions" of areas in the city i lived
1) 77 yarmouth's elephant
2) the spool house
3) and the wedding cake house
