Ideabrew Studios and Brian Tellis, host, performer and theatre personality, have launched a podcast for the media and entertainment industry - ‘The Chinwag Collective’.
As the name suggests, the podcast features conversations around the four pillars of the media and entertainment industry - Music, Theatre, Advertising and Marketing. These engagements will meet the people who have worked in defining and permeating this culture.
Through the podcast and its other avatars, the podcast aims to establish a destination for professionals within and outside the industry to gain an incisive understanding of the M&E world.
As per the platform, digging deeper into the subjects with each guest, each episode of the show will have a panel discussion featuring the host, a co-host and guest.
The show will have a multi host format for every episode with Brian Tellis as the showrunner and Atul Churamani, Nadir Khan, Rajeev Raja, and Atul Nath as the co-hosts.
Diving deep into each vertical, every episode will have the host from that beat along with Brian and the guest. These conversations will be around the journey of the guest, the evolution of the industry, current trends, upcoming challenges, amongst other topics. Tapping into the younger audiences, these conversations will be fun and personal but also insightful that the leaders will provide.
Aditya Kuber, CEO, Ideabrew Studios, said, “We wanted to present a fun and conversational interaction celebrating the industry stalwarts from all walks of life. ‘The Chinwag Collective’ taps into the journey of these prominent leaders giving our listeners insightful content that they can learn and adapt from. We at Ideabrew Studios are proud to present a show which has some of the most influential names from the M&E industry as they continue to engage with our listeners through their ‘chinwag’.”
Tellis said, “I have personally and professionally been a happy camper over decades in the Media and Entertainment Industry. Over the last few years, the industry has taken massive strides northward. New and uncharted territories have been explored and adopted. There are tons of engaging and inspiring stories waiting to be shared and consumed. The industry has many stalwarts who are repositories of these experiences and happy to share them. Being a big sucker for storytelling, I believe that seeding and nursing the “Chinwag Collective” will make a fun, engaging and enriching exercise for all. I am happy and excited to partner with Ideabrew Studios, whose experience and passion will take this crazy cool vision to fulfilment.”
The makers are also looking at tapping into various avenues for the format of the show over the course of the year.
