Hello! Welcome back to All Hear,
The Everything List for Audio Opportunities.
If you're new here, my name is Talia, I’m an audio producer based in London. Last year, I created a Google Doc compiling international audio resources. In this newsletter, you'll find opportunities with upcoming deadlines as well as a couple of Spotlights for the resources that I think are particularly special.
If you're not already a subscriber, you can sign up here.
And this month, following in the footsteps of our sister newsletter Starting Out, we have moved the newsletter to Substack! So look out for the Notes, which I’ll leave if there are any good opportunities that fall in between editions.
June Spotlights
This month I’m Spotlighting CBC’s Indigenous Pathways to Journalism (Canada, First Nations, Inuit or Métis, early-career) and the Åke Blomström Masterclass (technically international but with a European focus, early-career).
To read my Spotlights — featuring tips on applying, what each organisation is looking for, and why I think these opportunities are so great — head over to Transom.org.
