Workshop: Podcasting: A beginner’s workshop
Instructors: Thomas Aichinger, CEU’s Audio Education Specialist; Peter Kollreider, Audio Storyteller
The CEU Library’s Media Hub and the Visual Studies Platform are pleased to offer an introductory podcasting workshop this spring, open to CEU students, faculty and staff. The workshop will utilize the CEU Library’s Audio Lab, which includes the soundproof Recording Studio, the Mixing Suite for audio post-production, as well as a range of audio field recording equipment. After completing the workshop, participants are authorized to use the Audio Lab’s resources in the future. The workshop will be comprised of six sessions.
Podcasts offer a highly accessible format that can help you present, promote and more broadly disseminate your research. This workshop provides conceptual and hands-on instruction for participants to complete an episode of a podcast during the course, 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.
Applicants submit a summary of their podcast idea with their application, which should relate in some way to their coursework, scholarship or research. The workshop is not intended for producing promotional content. Those that already have an ongoing podcast and want to improve its quality are also welcome to apply.
