An Introduction to Podcasting
**CANCELLED**
Unfortunately we have had to cancel this course. Ticketholders will be contacted by our box office.
We will first ask "what is a podcast?" and talk about everything that works in the format. We will examine how to research and plan your own work from scratch, including the equipment and software you’ll need and the basics of how to use it.
We will then explore how to prepare for recording, write your own scripts, and interview guests. Finally, we will learn how to wrap it all up in post-production and get it out into the world.
