Producing podcasts for the youth work sector

Funded by the Erasmus+ programme and launched during the European Year of Youth, ERYICAst marks ERYICA’s first-ever podcast series. ProMo was commissioned to lead the production of the podcast from concept to delivery.

Our Approach

We used our expertise in Youth Work and media production to create six podcast episodes. 

ProMo was responsible for:

• Hosting, with Arielle Tye (ProMo) as the main presenter
• Producing, recording, editing, and post-production
• Conducting interviews with a diverse range of guests, such as youth workers, experts in their fields, and young people
• Managing guests and developing scripts
• Researching and developing podcast topics
