Radio New Zealand has released a Request For
Proposal (RFP) for story-driven, humorous or conversational
podcasts with mass audience appeal.
Projects should be of a modest budget of up to
approximately $50,000, and preference will be given to currently
underserved and growth audiences, in particular Māori, Pasifika and
rangatahi.
RNZ is open to pitches for podcasts of any
genre or format but choose your ideas carefully as they will only
accept (the first) two applications per
Production/Company/Team/Producer.
The content will be made available on new
and existing RNZ platforms including podcatchers. Visual and
social media elements are encouraged, as is a brief social media
plan.
If you have a great idea but are new to the
pitching process then some guidelines are available - email
commissioning@rnz.co.nz
For all information on how to apply, and to
receive the required cover sheet, email commissioning@rnz.co.nz
Deadline for submissions: 4pm on 15
February, 2021.
