1-DAY MASTERCLASS
Get Your Podcast Green-Lit. In a Single Day.
Walk in with a podcast idea. Walk out with everything you need to get it approved.
A 1-day premium masterclass for expert brands & individuals serious about launching a podcast.
Walk in with a rough concept. Walk out with a clear plan.
You’ll have a compelling podcast that will showcase your brand at its best.
You’ve got a brilliant podcast idea.
You’ve had the discussions with your team (or in your own head).
But you’re stuck with lots of questions:
✚ What will each episode be about?
✚ How much will it cost?
✚ Who is the audience?
✚ Who will host it?
✚ How do we make ourselves sound awesome (without sounding cringe)?
✚ How long until the podcast goes live?
✚ How do we actually start?
✚ Who has time for this?
Miniature has created this Masterclass just for you.
At the end of a single day, you will leave with:
✔ A validated podcast concept and audience strategy
Your idea, tested and refined into something worth commissioning. It will be specific to your organisation, your field and your audience.
✔ A recorded teaser episode
Actual audio you can play for the key decision maker you need to persuade. This is the single most persuasive tool for getting an internal yes.
✔ A stakeholder pitch document
A structured template you fill in during the day. It answers every question leadership will ask: what is it, who is it for, what does it cost, how long will it take, what do we need to provide. Take it to leadership the next day.
✔ A complete production plan and episode structure
Format, episode count, release schedule, guest approach, budget, timeline, and approvals pathway.
✔ Hands-on studio recording experience
You record your teaser in a professional studio. You'll know exactly what a recording session feels like before you commit to a full series.
✔ A 30-minute strategy call with Miniature
Within two weeks of the Masterclass, you’ll get to pressure-test your concept after you've had time to digest the day. Your chance to refine your pitch and address anything that came up after.

“For anyone in the seedling stages of podcast planning, particularly within an organisation where you need to build a case and secure resources, this Masterclass offers the kind of structured guidance that can save you months of false starts.
This practical grounding is invaluable when you're moving from "we should do a podcast" to actually making it happen within an organisational context.
I'd recommend this for anyone who needs to turn a podcast idea into a launch-ready plan they can present with confidence.”

“What I love about working with James is that he’s not just technically brilliant - he also brings real emotional intelligence to the creative process.
For me, that’s meant recognising that launching something new isn’t just about strategy or structure - it’s about moving through self-doubt and giving yourself permission to create something meaningful.”
Masterclass seats are limited to 7 per session.

James Pattison has spent 15 years making audio that earns its audience — as a producer at ABC Radio National, a TV Associate Producer at The Project on Network 10, and seven years in communications and marketing at Monash University, where he created Just Cases, a podcast about court cases that reached 200,000+ downloads and a 4.8★ rating. Most brands know how to push a message, but not tell a story. Most journalists know how to tell a story, but not build a message. James does both — that's what makes a Miniature Masterclass different.
