The Journey of Building a New Studio and Expanding Media Services
Since 2022, ALTBAYS Table Talk has been a staple podcast in the Coromandel, steadily growing its audience with engaging conversations. But over the last two months, the creators have been a bit quiet, leaving many to wonder: Where’s ALTBAYS?
ALTBAYS and the NZ Podcasting Summit
The NZ Podcast Summit is an annual event that focuses on collaboration, education, sharing and networking for Aotearoa’s podcast producers, presenters, practitioners and providers. The event stands out because, in the conference room, you will find indie podcasters sitting next to representatives of NZ’s big media companies like Stuff, RNZ, The Spinoff and the NZ Herald, all listening to panellists and discussing the past, present, and future of podcasts — undoubtedly one of the fastest-growing information and entertainment media formats.
Back in February 2022, if you had told the ALTBAYS Table Talk podcast team that within two years, they would have live-streamed over 260 episodes, hosting guests from all over Aotearoa NZ for engaging conversations in their studio in Whitianga, they might not have been surprised. However, if you had mentioned that they would be building a new studio for the third time, you would certainly have generated a reaction!
In an era where digital platforms are saturated with content tailored to specific demographics and interests, carving out a unique niche can seem like the golden ticket to success. Based in Whitianga, on the Coromandel peninsula of Aotearoa New Zealand, the podcast ALTBAYS Table Talk has defied convention by embracing the niche of not having a niche.
