RØDE microphones launches all-new podcasting competition: My RØDE Cast

To celebrate the launch of the two most exciting new products in podcasting – the RØDECaster ProTM and RØDE PodMic – Australian pro audio giant RØDE Microphones is proud to announce an all-new competition for podcasters, My RØDE Cast.

Following in the footsteps of My RØDE Reel – the world’s largest short filmmaking competition, which celebrates its sixth year in 2019 – My RØDE Cast is a global competition inviting podcasters of every experience level to showcase their skills.

Entrants simply need to submit a 1-2 minute podcast on any topic and in any format to go in the running to win a share in over $150,000 of prizes, which have been carefully selected by the RØDE team to help podcasters kickstart their journey, or invigorate one that has already begun.

“We are very excited to announce our brand-new competition, My RØDE Cast,” says Freedman Group CEO Damien Wilson. “RØDE’s reputation as the Choice of Today’s Creative Generation has been showcased time and time again through the success of initiatives like My RØDE Reel and Master Your Craft, and My RØDE Cast will do so once again, this time in the ever-expanding domain of podcasting. We can’t wait to hear what people submit!”

Building on the widespread renown of products like the Podcaster and Procaster, RØDE has solidified its position as the go-to brand for podcasters with the RØDECaster Pro Podcast Production Studio and PodMic – which are among the incredible prizes up for grabs in My RØDE Cast. Also up for grabs are goodies from Adobe, Angelbird, Urbanears, Blastwave FX, Primacoustic, and more.
