Etchings Press makes podcast debut; new collaboration with Hullabaloo Press
Etchings Press, the University of Indianapolis student-run publisher, announced in March the debut of a new podcast series, UIndy’s Potluck Podcasts. The podcasts feature interviews with the winners of the 2018 Etchings Press annual Whirling Prize, Communiversity participants and guests of the Kellogg Writers Series. Several students contributed to the Whirling Prize judging process, podcasts and promotional posters, with more podcasts to be released during the spring 2019 semester.
The podcast project was facilitated by Liz Whiteacre, assistant professor of English and Etchings Press advisor. Several art & design students contributed to the broadsides (printed posters), with the project facilitated by Katherine Fries, assistant professor of art & design and program director for Hullabaloo Press, UIndy’s printmaking studio. Prints are available for purchase.
