It's not every day that an Independent media producer in any genre or type of medium gets the opportunity to stand toe to toe with the big names in their space. But Emily Prokop did.
Emily's podcast, "The Story Behind" was nominated for a 2019 Webby Award and was up against shows like "Serial," "After Dark," and other big name shows produced by professional production houses. She doesn't like to position it as a "David and Goliath" type story but that's exactly how it seemed to those of us looking on from the outside.
Emily's journey into podcasting is pretty typical. But the results of her involvement in podcasting are extraordinary. She's not only been nominated for awards, she got a book deal, build a career for herself, and more. Listen to get the whole story.
