Stage teams up with Podcast Network for Edinburgh festival
Full coverage of the Edinburgh Festivals
The Stage has teamed up with The Podcast Network to offer its readers daily coverage from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for the first time.
Ewan Spence, creator of The Fringe Podcast and executive producer at The Podcast Network
The Bafta-nominated Edinburgh Fringe Podcast is available to anyone with an internet connection. New editions of the show will be available to listen to on both The Stage Online and The Podcast Network’s website and also by saving the MP3 file to your computer, subscribing to the show via iTunes or adding it to any podcast downloading application.
Ewan Spence, executive producer at The Podcast Network, commented: “Last year the Edinburgh Fringe Podcast reached around the world, bringing the largest arts festival to audiences far in excess of any single stage in Scotland’s capital city. I’m over the moon that The Stage has come on board with the podcast. The Stage has a long tradition of being the bible for the performing arts world in the UK. With its support, the show will be able to feature more guests, news, interviews and content from around Edinburgh.”
Podcasting is the latest addition to The Stage’s extensive Edinburgh coverage, which this year also includes the free Essential Guide to the Fringe, available across Edinburgh.
“Podcasting has the ability to reach out to people with very specific interests, something that The Stage has been doing for the performing arts community since 1880,” explained Stage assistant editor Scott Matthewman. “The daily podcast is the perfect complement to our print and web coverage of this year’s fringe and we’re delighted that we’ve been able to team up with the specialists at The Podcast Network for our first venture into this field.”
