Event Information
Event description
Description
It seems like everybody has a podcast these days. And why not? You've probably already got a great podcast idea in mind and want to get started!
In this densely packed 2-hour workshop, we'll cover the basics, with opportunities for hands-on practice:
- Using the BIG studio equipment (Zoom H6, Shure SM-58 microphones) to record raw audio
- Using Audacity editing software (available for Mac, Windows, and Linux) to clean up audio and create a finished episode
- Publishing a episodes online using Soundcloud
- How to add a podcast to directories like Apple Podcasts (a.k.a. iTunes)
Participants should bring an SD card with at least 2GB of free space and a way to take notes. Folks interested in hands-on time with editing are encouraged to bring a laptop with the Audacity audio editing software (http://www.audacityteam.org/) installed. Finally, to save, time, everyone is encouraged to create a SoundCloud account (https://soundcloud.com/) as well as an Apple ID (https://www.apple.com/shop/account/home) if you don't have them already.
Instructors: Marty McGuire and Jonathan Monroe
