VBT 147: Jane Velez-Mitchell on getting a vegan cooking show onto Amazon Prime

In this episode I interview Jane Velez-Mitchell of JaneUnchained animal advocacy and vegan media outlet.

Jane is a renowned Emmy-award-winning TV journalist and New York Times bestselling author.

Her decades-long career as a reporter for mainstream TV includes a six-year stint hosting her own show on CNN Headline News, where she ran a weekly segment on animal issues.

Since 2014, Jane has headed up her own media site JaneUnchained.com.

In February this year Jane launched New Day New Chef, a plant-based cooking show onto Amazon Prime.

In this interview Jane discusses:

• How she got New Day New Chef accepted onto Amazon Prime

• What’s involved in the production of the show

• How she managed to continue producing the show during the Covid-19 lockdown with the use of 6 robotic cameras in a contactless sound stage

• How she funded the show’s production

• Why it’s important to get your work out on other platforms before pitching to TV networks

• And more
