Podcast Seminar: Series Development

In this course students work together to develop and produce original podcast series. Small groups collaborate to develop a show idea, map a first season of episodes and produce a work sample demonstrating the aesthetic of their series. In preparation for this endeavor we listen extensively to podcasts in a variety of formats and hear from show creators across the field of podcasting. Students will have the opportunity to plan and execute interviews, record round-table discussions, engage in field recordings, and ultimately develop a unique show voice and aesthetic (FMMC 0101, or FMMC 0249, or FMMC 1134, or FMMC 1026, or FMMC/AMST 0261) 3 hrs. lect.
