What happens when a Hollywood storyteller discovers podcasting?
Alan Katz spent decades working in film and television, including creating and writing for Tales from the Crypt, where getting a story from an idea to the screen could take years, endless approvals, and giving up a lot of control along the way.
Podcasting changed that.
In this episode of Monetize This!, Alan talks about why the microphone might be the ultimate storytelling tool, why authenticity matters more than formulas, and why the best podcasts come from creators who understand the story they’re actually trying to tell.
Alan also shares the story behind his podcast How Not to Make a Movie, his approach to honest storytelling, and why some of the most interesting stories are the ones traditional media might never have let through.
Maybe the thing worth optimizing isn’t your downloads.
Maybe it’s making something worth listening to.
