Podcasting is a young, dynamic industry. It’s still figuring itself out, and is shaped by contributions from people with all kinds of backgrounds. Without rigid entry requirements or long-standing rules, it’s become a place where professionals from diverse fields bring their unique strengths to build something fresh and exciting.In this episode, we chat with Elizabeth Amos, whose theater roots as a dramaturg (we didn’t know either, but all is explained), led her to podcast production management at Lower Street. Elizabeth shares how skills from what seemed like an unrelated field — storytelling, research, and collaboration — seamlessly fit into podcasting. From structuring narratives to managing project logistics, she reveals the surprising overlaps between theater and podcasting, showing how her unique background enriches her work and strengthens the podcasting landscape.Elizabeth’s story reminds us that there’s no single path to finding success in podcasting.
