PODCASTING: A beginner’s workshop

April 4, 2022

The CEU Library and the Visual Studies Platform are pleased to offer a six-session, introductory podcasting workshop.   

Podcasts offer a highly accessible format that can help you present, promote and more broadly disseminate your research, or explore other topics of interest. This workshop provides conceptual and hands-on experience for participants to realize their individual podcast ideas, from learning to develop a concept, record oneself and/or interview partners, and complete all necessary audio post-production. Participants receive feedback and critique from both instructors and peers to develop and refine their projects at each stage of completion.   

The workshop will utilize the CEU Library’s Audio Lab, which includes the soundproof Recording Studio capable of recording podcasts for four participants, the Mixing Suite for doing audio post-production, as well as a range of audio field recording equipment. After completing this training users are certified to use the Audio Lab in the future.  

Instructors: Thomas Aichinger, Audio Education Specialist; Peter Kollreider, Audio Storyteller

Workshop dates: April 20 – June 1, Evenings.  

The workshop is comprised of six sessions, including five consecutive weekly sessions on Wednesday evenings, 17:40 – 19:20, April 20 – May 18, then a week break for production, then a final session 17:40 – 19:20 on June 1.
