Sound and Story: Introduction to Podcasting

In this course we will immerse ourselves in the rich world of podcasting. Students will listen extensively to a wide sampling of work from shows Serial, Modern Love, Another Round, Love + Radio, The Truth, Embedded, RadioLab, and many more. Students will also produce their own original sound-rich audio piece that will premiere at a public listening event at the close of the winter session. Each student will be required to purchase a set of studio quality, noise-canceling headphones (no ear buds) costing approximately $90. It is strongly advised that students have an external hard drive on which to duplicate and backup their media.
