Have you heard?
In a world where everyone interacts with digital media, podcasting is one of the more ubiquitous and longstanding forms of digital scholarship. But podcasting is so much more than a recorded broadcast. It is a compendium of stories and voices often told by individuals within the community.
Podcasting is personal and personalized.
Podcasting has an endless amount of content and can cater to any need. Code Switch is a podcast about how race affects every part of society hosted by journalists of color. Still Processing is a series that examines the culture of entertainment, work, the internet and how they all fit together. All My Relations explores relationships to land, creatural relatives, and each other with hosts and guests representing various Indigenous tribes.
And you could be doing it, too.
The University of Washington Libraries invites students to join us in an online learning experience to build the skills necessary to record and edit a podcast episode.
Welcome to Storytelling Fellows Podcasting!
In this workshop, you can expect to:
- Produce a short 2-5 minute (or longer!) podcast segment by recording, editing, reviewing, transcribing, and reflecting on your work.
- Identify a number of tools, platforms, and strategies for developing and hosting a podcast.
- Learn about the importance of accessibility, preservation, open access, and digital safety.
Overall, the purpose of this workshop is to have a chance to engage in academic or professional work in new and fun ways while learning how to tell compelling stories about meaningful topics.
