Trailer Park: The Podcast Trailer Podcast
Welcome to the park! Trailer Park: The Podcast Trailer Podcast is a podcast that showcases podcast trailers. Whether those trailers never became fully-realized podcasts, were made as creative proof, are part of a larger body of work, or were created just for fun, they're welcome here at the park!
On each episode, hosts Arielle Nissenblatt and Tim Villegas will hit 'play' on a podcast trailer. We'll then hear from the creator of that trailer.
Why a trailer park?
As a podcast discovery tool
To help creators get their projects funded
To create learning opportunities for audio creators
Thank you to...
