Producing the Podcast: Telling Your Story in Sound

(4 Credits)

Storytelling and the gift of listening are critical skills that can be developed and a podcast can be more than a monologue or an interview. A podcast can be a rich environment for using sound to tell a story. Sound can be used in many ways, whether it is used to set the scene, illustrate a concept, or enliven a journalistic situation. The course will introduce students to the power of sound to illustrate and enrich a podcast, through listening and production. Weekly listening and assignments will be presented and discussed in class to encourage and inspire.
