Discovering the “Taquilla Inversa” Podcast
Interview with Júlia Isern, one of the two creators of “Taquilla Inversa“; a podcast born from the collaboration of ERAM students to bring the life experiences of two young individuals studying the Degree in Performing Arts to the listeners at home.
How did “Taquilla Inversa” come about?
Mercè Badia and I (Júlia Isern) were in our first year of college, during the job resources week. Various people came to train us in a specific field. In one of these training sessions, Mercè and I shared our interest in starting a podcast. We agreed that it was a project for us, to have fun, exchange knowledge and opinions, while also recording it. This way, we could share the life experiences of two young individuals studying the Degree in Performing Arts with anyone interested and stay connected with people who are far away, in our hometowns, so they can see what we are learning and what we are passionate about.
With the help of the teacher Jordi Duran and Communication Manager Laura Mercader, we networked, and that’s how Reverse Box Office was created, produced by a team of students from the Degree in Audiovisual and Multimedia Communication at La Peixera.
How do you get inspired to prepare the episodes?
Everything revolves around the performing arts. It’s not very difficult since we also revolve around them. It’s what we study and what we want to dedicate ourselves to. I see it a bit like the binoculars through which I understand what happens to me, my surroundings, to comprehend and navigate. Finding someone like Mercè, who shares this line of thought, and with whom I deeply enjoy everything we share… I am very grateful for her company.
What is the most memorable moment since you started the podcast?
We have had beautiful moments and others where we burst into laughter. I couldn’t pinpoint one specifically now. But maybe I would take this opportunity to say that everything that happens when we discover a new part of each other, a piece of her past, a connection we make with what one explains, and an experience in the classroom is memorable. It’s like being able to read between the lines of the episode script.
Whenever we do a program, there’s a learning part that we keep to ourselves, which the listeners can’t access. This is the excuse to have a podcast-coded conversation, allowing us to discover the paths the other has taken. It’s normal that afterwards, we mess up and start shouting, crying, and laughing, all in 45 minutes.
How do you perceive your audience’s response to “Taquilla Inversa“?
Family is delighted! It’s true, in the end, the biggest feedback we get is from the family who is far away. Listening to us and then commenting makes us feel a bit closer. There are also friends who listen to us, classmates we have invited to the program or who keep up with what we have done, and the teachers if we comment on something related to them. Now, it must be clarified that the best listener is Andrea Urpi, fan number 1 from the beginning. Now we are her fans. She always gives us a little feedback on the program and expressions of gratitude. We make the programs for her, I believe. We also think it could be a good podcast for students who have just entered the Degree in Performing Arts, to see what awaits them during these 4 years.
What can you tell us about the upcoming episodes of “Taquilla Inversa“?
We have a couple of programs in mind that could be really great. Not only for the content, especially one of them, which touches us closely, and we could announce a project that we hope will move soon… The following ones seem like they will be fun. But everything is still to be seen.
