About Chhavi Sachdev

TL;DR: I run @sonologue podcasting, a turnkey podcast production house - we specialize in telling your stories and turning them into sound-rich, smart podcasts.Current and past clients include the Consulate General of Canada, World YWCA, Accenture, The Better India, WaterAid India, CREA world, the Times of India, Malayala Manorama, The Ken, SAYFTY, the Tata Group and more. And I teach podcasting and radio journalism workshops, too. *** The long version: I'm India's oldest podcaster and helped launch (and name) some of India's seminal podcasts, including Cyrus Says, Maed in India, Love, Sex & Dating 'cast, and before that, Live from the Blue Frog and The Bglsr Podcast, Book & Beyond by Bound, Tall Tales Takeaway and more. I have a master's in journalism and more than 20 years of experience with non fiction storytelling. I've reported, produced, edited and packaged multimedia content -- journalism, PR, marketing -- for various international press and corporate clients in web, print, and radio including PRI, DW, RNW, the BBC world service, and others with the focus on Solutions Journalism (the environment, human rights, sustainability, science & health). Reportage clips are here: http://chhavisachdev.contently.com. I started podcasting in 2008 and that makes me the second most experienced (read: 2nd oldest) podcaster in India. I was the co-creator and producer of Maed In India (the longest music podcast in India), Cyrus Says (I'm on the first 30 something episodes), LSDcast (India's first relationship podcast), The Bglsr Podcast (same, for fitness), Live from the Blue Frog (1st music podcast), Tall Tales Takeaway (1st nonfiction storytelling podcast) and many others. In my last incarnation, I was heading content for audio tours. Here, I took every project from conceptualization of narrative technique, identifying script writers, editing the audio script and taking it through production with voice overs, studio edits, and post production in several languages. Specialties: *Podcasts - production & consultation*Training - bespoke and general coaching from launching a podcast to teaching journalists how to transition from print, web, and tv to audio*Consulting - workshop and grow your existing podcast*Radio packages - news, features, essays*Fixing - available as a local fixer & translator for radio/podcast crews

We guarantee quality. Simply because the founders (@Rakhee Ghelani and I) do all the work ourselves, we don't farm it out to 20-year-old interns.However, we are very selective with the projects we take on. Ideally, we prefer taking over responsibility for your content-calendar, creating the strategy, executing and managing the whole thing for you. But, we do consider one-off projects if they are sufficiently challenging or just plain quirky.We also prefer working with companies that are green and socially responsible. The best way to figure out if The Content Arc is a right fit for you is to talk to me. However I only deal with decision makers, and prefer that they get in touch directly.
