This practical, hands-on workshop covers many aspects of getting a podcast project off the ground, including idea-development, basic technical and production needs, field recording and studio recording, writing, and mixing audio. It is designed for people in social justice movement and activism with a variety of skill levels, but a clear idea for a project they want to work on whether it’s an oral history, an interview series, or even audio fiction. The workshop meets people where they are in terms of equipment and budget, and includes recommendations for how to make use of free and easily accessible tools.
***We are committed to creating an accessible space, and if you are accepted into the workshop, we will follow up about your accessibility needs including language, childcare, physical and financial aid as needed.***
