Moonshot Network is opening for YOUR podcast pitches this Friday! But who even ARE we? What does that mean? How do you even send a pitch????

Good news: we’ve made this handy slideshow in order to answer all those questions, and also questions you didn’t even know you had! It’s a condensed version of our official pitch guide, to save you the trouble of clicking through to the GDoc link! You can also find the full plain text below the cut here.

What is Moonshot and why should I pitch you my podcast, anyway?

WHO WE ARE

Moonshot is a podcast network built on creative collaborations and far-out ideas. Some of our work includes: podcast seasons recorded in 24 hours, a dunk tank fundraiser stream, amateur Pokemon competitions, fanfiction actual plays, and deep media analysis of things like Saw, Christmas music, Harlequin romance novels, and the Halo 3 alternate reality game.

Our primary goal  is to be a home for out-there ideas, shorter and seasonal projects, and experiments in the podcast medium that might not fit in anywhere else. We aim to provide the enthusiasm, the structure, and support for our members to work on their dream projects.

Our second goal is giving first-time and early-career creators the tools they need for a successful start. We feel strongly that podcasting should not be a gatekept medium, and aim to support new creators with the funding and guidance to make their show a success.

WHAT WE HOST

Here are some examples of shows currently on our network:

ARGonauts Podcast: Andrew and Marn do deep dives into the niche world of alternate reality games and the people who create them.

Riley Hopkins and Their Amazing Friends: Short-form actual play series and one-offs that focus on transformative fanwork and crossovers of established shows/franchises/characters.

I’ll Be Pod For Castmas: A seasonal podcast released in July and December where Juliet and Katherine pick a piece of holiday pop culture and discuss it through the lens of a piece of topical classic literature.

After School Anime Club: Max, Max, and Stevie take a nostalgia trip back to the anime of their youth, and play game shows about it along the way.

The Podcast Mines: There But For The Grace Of Pod Go We: Riley and Andrew pitch each other podcasts, talk about the medium of podcasting, and sometimes do neither of those things.

WHAT WE OFFER

We offer network members a lot of perks, including:

Coverage of hosting costs, plus access to Pinecast's advanced analytics

A pre-existing community of fans and listeners to introduce your show to

Collaborative network shows with monthly spots for guest hosts

Other podcasters to talk shop and collaborate with in our creators-only Discord

Assets for streaming, a Twitch channel, and (time permitting) a stream producer

Subscriptions to Soundstripe (royalty-free music ) and Otter.ai (transcription services)

Optional participation in large group charity livestreams

OKAY...HOW DO I PITCH?

If you’re a creator looking to pitch us on a not-yet-published show, send us:

A strong pitch of your idea - what the base premise of the show is, an introduction to the regular hosts, what topics you hope to cover, and anything else that feels relevant. For audio dramas, feel free to send us an outline of the plot alongside the basic pitch!

A recorded and edited pilot episode.

OPTIONAL: More sample episodes, if you’ve already recorded them.

OPTIONAL: More scripted episodes, if you’re making an audio drama.

Examples of your past audio work. If you don’t have any, don’t worry! As long as your pitch is solid, you don’t need to have prior experience.

If you’re a creator looking to pitch an ongoing/established show, you’ll need:

A link to your feed.

Links to 3-5 episodes that exemplify what your show is about, and what it sounds like at its best.

If you’re a creator that has a pitch that is outside of these two options:

3-5 episodes in some format.

A solid pitch for why we should take on your show!

Please send these things to [email protected] with the subject line PITCH: [Your Podcast Name Here]. The body of your email should include a brief introduction of yourself, your podcast, and any cohosts; followed by links to the above requested content.

If you’re a new creator and have any sort of roadmap for your show, including an outline (for fiction shows) or a list of content you’re going to cover in future episodes (for nonfiction), we’d love to see those too! Please also include links to your and your cohosts’ social media.

Our inbox opens for pitches on November 25th! We hope to see you there!

This whole article is really important for anyone who loves RQ shows to read. The hope is always that your favorite shows are created in a good environment and that the people who work on them are adequately compensated.

The cut that RQ takes (~50%?!) seems absolutely massive, and the return on that cut seems slim to none. It’s almost as if independent shows who join the network should just stay independent. And I always take issue when a company has clauses in their contracts that restrict the behavior of their employees - and it’s just so disgusting that RQ made it difficult for laid off former employees to seek work.

I will say it is a bit suspicious to me that this article was written by the marketing director for the Fable & Folly Network. I’m glad that they disclosed it, but only after people said something. I feel like we’re gonna find out something about that in the coming weeks.

So this is an incredibly exciting milestone for me!

After podcasting for a little over six years (yay freelance), I was offered a full time role at Bloody Disgusting! Cinedigm, our parent company, brought me on as their first Podcast Producer!

Obviously, I can't talk about the super secret upcoming projects yet, BUT I am very excited for each of them! I'm planning on launching three new fiction podcasts *this year* and BD is looking to grow it's network by 20 new shows over the next 12 months.

There is so much happening, and I am so incredibly excited and thankful for this opportunity!

Stay Tuned.

✨ Why you should listen to Monstrous Agonies! ✨

Monstrous Agonies is a fiction podcast created by @monstrousproductions that captures the weekly advice segment on the UK's only dedicated radio station for creatures of the night 👻🥰

Featuring:

A late-night radio advice show for monsters

A butter-voiced English narrator so soothing they have literally sent people to sleep (take care if listening while driving!)

Now complete at three seasons, there's over 100 episodes to binge, with additional bonus eps, bloopers and end-of-season Q&As

Full transcripts for every episode, linked in the show-notes

Average episode length of 10-15 minutes (can you tell it was made by someone with ADHD... 😉)

Monsters as a metaphor for marginalisation

Monsters as not-a-metaphor-at-all - sometimes a sentient tapeworm is just a sentient tapeworm

Asexual vampires! Gay werewolves! Trans lizard ladies! If it can be queer, by God it will be queer!

Funny ha-ha!

Also, funny like ‘wait, are they eating people?’

Variously described as, ‘eldritch late-night Radio Four’, ‘fun and full of love’, and ‘like a warm hug from a creature with one too many arms

'While the podcast is now finished, the world continues here on @thenightfolknetwork where you can send in your questions about life, love, and all things liminal 😎

If that sounds like your cup of tea, search for 'Monstrous Agonies' on your podcatcher of choice and give us a listen! 🎧💕

Good morning from the moon! We are so excited to announce that we will be running a PATREON DRIVE network fundraiser throughout the ENTIRE MONTH OF APRIL, to celebrate our one year anniversary as a network!

Why pledge your monetary support to us? It's simple: anything we make via Patreon allows the network to improve, from QOL expenses like buying new microphones to actually having an advertising budget. We are a network that aims to uplift not only new creators, but those aiming to punch above their weight class with big ideas that, well...shoot the moon. Your support can help us do that!

Our goal is simple: 1 new or upgrading patron, each day, for the entire month of April. 30 days, 30 patrons. If you're the first patron to pledge or upgrade on a particular day, we'll even give you a shoutout, and stamp your name on our April calendar!

In conclusion: head to http://patreon.com/moonshotnetwork to pledge or upgrade your patron tier this April! You can also make a one-time donation on our Ko-Fi page if you prefer. We appreciate all your support as we continue to break orbit and enter Year 2 of Moonshot.

This is a kind of weird question, I know, especially because networks are fluid (I don't entirely know what they do besides advertising). Like, Adventures in New America and It Makes A Sound used to be part of Night Vale Presents, but now NVP seems to be nearly entirely made up of shows by the WtNV crew. Mischa Stanton helped found The Whisperforge, but now their podcasts aren't part of it. Meanwhile Hi Nay has recently joined Rusty Quill and its feed still works, but when Midst joined Critical Role they took down their feed and website and started new ones of both.

#I didn't include Critical Role since it seems to be just CR with Midst thrown in?????? I am still unclear why Midst partnering with CR meant #it needed a new feed and website. #Technically A Poll #Podcasts #I'm sorry if I have revealed myself to not know the difference between a network and a production company with this poll. #Like is Geekly Inc a network????? #Is SAYER even still associated with them? #Is this poll just an excuse to bring up PPN????? (Yes.) #Podcast Networks

FIRST SEASON OUT NOW: Please listen to our podcast about delivering mail in space

Clem Bianchi (they/them) is a courier, delivering mail in space one job at a time in a future where mankind has settled among the stars faster than communications technology can keep up.

SOME KEY POINTS:

10-episode first season out now

LGBTQ+ characters, cast and creators

Most episodes run 25-35 minutes

Sound design that uses bluegrass instruments in ways nobody should, probably

ADDITIONAL POSTAGE REQUIRED is a biweekly audio drama podcast, chronicling Clem’s adventures as they take on jobs, explore the new abilities at their disposal, and become entangled with the lives of their clients. APR is created and written by Jay Petrequin (@extremesalsaing on social media), co-written and co-produced by Chris Hutton (@topherdisgrace) and stars Kai Swanson as Clem Bianchi. Full cast lists, sound effect credits and content warnings can be found in episode descriptions.

The Department of Variance of Somewhere, Ohio (@somewhereohio) - surreal/weird fiction following agents trapped in the building of their shady government bureau

Hello from the Hallowoods (@hellofromthehallowoods) - vignettes of a huge cast of characters interweave in a long-form narrative of queer survivors

Dragon Shanty (@dragonshantypod) - in the form of bedtime stories, two lighthouse keepers tell their history of magic and dragons

The Aberrant Report (@theaberrantreport) - a tape recorder-style murder investigation that delves into the supernatural

Starfall (@starfallpod) - the fantasy adventures of a theater troupe that uses magic to create their performances

Gentle reminder that when you talk about podcasts on the Rusty Quill network, remember that the shows are created and produced by independent groups, not RQ themselves. The network is a great tool to uplift these smaller creators, so as listeners, let’s do our part in supporting them as well!
