Interview:

Molly Schwartz, Studio Manager at METRO (Metropolitan New York Library Council) - Podcast Preservation Project “Preserve This Podcast” - http://preservethispodcast.org/

We're a group of podcasters and trained archivists who are creating a podcast, a zine, and traveling workshops to teach independent podcasters how to bake file preservation practices into their production workflow.

Grant-funded project that will help podcasters make sure their work doesn’t disappear. We received $142,000 in grant funding from the The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to help independent podcasters protect their work against the threats of digital decay.

They are passionate about making sure the diverse podcast stories are being saved in the ever changing tech media upgrades.

The grant, titled “Preserve this Podcast: A Podcast Tutorial and Outreach Project,” will fund an education and awareness campaign to promote affordable, easy-to-implement archival techniques for digital audio preservation.

Topics:

What are the goals of the podcast preservation project?
Why does Podcast preservation face challenges? Generally, what is the normal limits and reliability of typical digital archiving/storage media and processes?
Why is there lack of awareness about podcast preservation practices?
Is preservation expensive and hard?
I’m not even putting my files in the Internet Archive
Who is media preservation for?
What are some of the basic of preservation practices that podcast publishers should follow?
