Lex Noteboom is an independent podcast creator from Amsterdam. He’s the creator of an audio drama called The Deca Tapes. It’s a sci-fi-ish dystopian-future mystery show. In March of 2018, Lex quit his job in advertising and spent a year writing, directing and producing the podcast. And then leading up to its March 2019 release, Lex started to promote the show.

The Question

How do you build an audience for a creative work?

This is part one of a two-part audio documentary about Lex’s process of finding (or creating) an audience for The Deca Tapes. We interviewed Lex before, during and after the release of all eight episodes, following his process for about 10 weeks. This episode centers around a conversation we had in the week leading up to the show's debut.
