Podcasting the Humanities

This is a class on podcast production for aspiring humanists, as opposed to aspiring journalists, open to undergraduates and graduates. In this class, you will learn how to produce narrative-driven audio, like short segments, episodes, or series, on a humanistic subject matter, but tailored for a non-academic audience. We will cover the technical basics, such as working on a DAW, editing, and sound designing, and we will cover the craft of finding stories, interviewing, creating narrative arcs, tracking, and using archival tape. We will also have industry professionals guest lecture in the class. Projects will be completely audio-based.
