FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

​
 

That's an excellent digital festival. Tell me, how many people will participate?

We want to make our festival a genuinely international event; therefore, we have slots for up to 30 participants from the following countries: Ukraine, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia. 150 participants total!

​

 

Can I apply if I am not from the counties mentioned above? 

Yes, you can. But since the project focuses on the V4 countries + Ukraine, we will prioritise participants who live in or are of the nationality of the countries mentioned above. 

​

 

In what language will the festival be?

We will hold all workshops, lectures, and pieces of training in English. But all the participants from other countries will be happy if you teach us some words in your mother tongue. 

​

 

It sounds like a tremendous multi-nation collaboration. But that's an online thing, yeah? 

Yes. We will use digital tools like Zoom for our festival. But we also prepared some surprises for you, like a digital party, so be prepared to discover some new digital spaces! We will hold all of the meetings in the evenings, so don't worry if you have to work during the day. You will most certainly be able to make it!

​

 

Sounds good. Will there be only theory or practice as well?

We have prepared some workshops for you, so it's not all theory! 

But it's not a school so that we won't assign you any homework. It's up to you if you want to practice or listen. Some of the meetings will be hard to watch while multitasking because we will interact and talk and discuss. Be ready for it!

 

​

Ok. How much does participating in the "Play it by Ear" workshop cost?

Participation is free. We select 30 participants from each of the V4 countries + Ukraine. The application form is easy-peasy (takes 5-7 minutes tops). We want to know you better and understand that you are motivated enough not to sleep on our events. 

 

​

One more question. Do I need any equipment?

Just your laptop or computer is enough. We will tell you the rest during our events, but don't worry; you will be able to download everything you need for free (or as a trial version).

​

 

Do I need to have experience and knowledge? Do I need to have a podcast to participate?

You might have a podcast, or you might have an idea of the podcast. But it is not obligatory. You might be interested in creating one, and it's excellent with us. There will be sessions for different "levels" of experience in podcasting. If you are a pro, you can skip some basic stuff. If you are starting, you might want to avoid some challenging discussions. But don't worry, we will mark all the events with the difficulty level, like the rides in Disneyworld. So you don't go on the red one if you are not ready for it.

​

 

Will you record the events?

Yes, but they will be available only for participants.

​

 

Can I skip events? Will I be disqualified?

You can, but we encourage you to participate in as many events as you can. 

Yes, you can miss one lecture from your level. We will send you recorded audio. 

 

​

Will we be able to pitch our ideas?

Yes, we will have a demo day, and you will be able to pitch your podcasting ideas. The three best ideas will get small stipends for the launch. All of the pitches will get feedback from experienced podcasters.
