Podcasting at W&L

The Power of Podcasting

Educational podcasting has become increasingly popular among educators worldwide. Podcasting can be implemented in a variety of ways: from short, single-concept lectures or audio feedback to students to syntheses of course material to student-generated content.

Podcast Storytelling Workshop with StoryCenter

Podcasting is a fast-growing storytelling medium for sharing information and personal expression. Beyond the convenience of listening on the go, the beauty of podcasting lies in the words, sounds, and silences in the theater of the mind. Creating a high-quality podcast requires careful planning, quality scripting, and production skills.

In February 2022, StoryCenter returned to W&L once again to offer a workshop of storytelling in the increasingly popular podcast format. Two facilitators guided seven participants through story development, scripting, interview technique, audio hardware options, and training in Audacity software.

Below are links to podcast segments created during the span of this intensive 3-day workshop.
