Teaching & talks

Consulting

• 20+ clients
• Indie authors and brands
• Launches, repositioning, formats

I help people launch a podcast or fix one that isn't working — mostly independent creators, sometimes brands. Positioning and format, the production process, and what to do when a show has an audience but no growth.

• T—J — Skhema«Схема»

  Client's words: listens grew by about 30% in the new season thanks to the shift to true crime and a new audience segment

Teaching

• ~100 students
• 5 cohorts
• HSE, Netology, Tolk

I teach podcasting and media more broadly — how a format is conceived and positioned, how scripts and interviews are built, how a show gets produced, and how a content team finds its audience. From a single guest lecture to a full curriculum for a university programme.

Talks

I talk about the podcast industry from the inside: how independent shows find their audience, what brands keep getting wrong about audio, and how small media teams build formats that last.
