As the term \u201cpodcast\u201d gets increasingly buzzy, it seems to be increasingly used to refer to all kinds of things. In basic terms, a podcast is recorded spoken-word audio created for distribution. It can take lots of different forms: monologue, interview, documentary. We\u2019ll get into examples as you work on your Listening Journal in week one.<\/p>\n
This means there are lots of great use of audio \u2014 including some classroom assignments \u2014 that aren\u2019t strictly podcasts. We\u2019ll still spend time talking about things that will be relevant, including week two\u2019s focus on recording and editing, but the general thrust of our discussion will be to move you towards distribution.<\/p>\n
This is a self-paced introductory masterclass in podcasting. The goal is to introduce you to the genres and modes of podcasting, to get you to dabble in audio production, and to imagine an audio project for yourself. During scheduled iterations of the course, the LT&I team will use this space to give feedback to the developing projects; between iterations, this site will live on as a resource to be consulted.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also an experiment in a new way of offering programming. Maybe it will work! Maybe it won\u2019t. We\u2019ll be looking for your feedback.<\/p>\n
Not much. A computer \u2014 or good tablet \u2014 that you can do audio editing on. A mic of some sort (but for the purposes of this class, your cell phone headphones or the headset you use for Zoom calls is just fine). Comfort with WordPress is an asset, but not required \u2014 we will get you up to speed quickly.<\/p>\n
Your time commitment for this class can vary widely. We will suggest weekly tasks, and you can take them on \u2014 or not. Generally, this course can be completed in 1-2 hours\/week, but it will reward whatever time you want to give it. You can come back to the exercises later, after the supported part of the course is over. You can post your projects publicly, or you can choose to keep everything you do in \u201cDraft\u201d mode. You can follow along without ever being added to the site or the Mattermost channel.<\/p>\n
If you do complete all four tasks before the end of the scheduled period, we will issue you a certificate to show that you\u2019ve completed this introductory course. And more importantly, we\u2019ll be eager to partner with you on your next podcasting project adventure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":724,"menu_order":2,"template":"","meta":{"pb_show_title":"on","pb_short_title":"","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":[],"pb_section_license":""},"chapter-type":[],"contributor":[],"license":[],"class_list":["post-29","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"part":3,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/podcastmasterclasstru\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/29","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/podcastmasterclasstru\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/podcastmasterclasstru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/podcastmasterclasstru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/724"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/podcastmasterclasstru\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/29\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/podcastmasterclasstru\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/29\/revisions\/30"}],"part":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/podcastmasterclasstru\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/parts\/3"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/podcastmasterclasstru\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/29\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/podcastmasterclasstru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chapter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/podcastmasterclasstru\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapter-type?post=29"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/podcastmasterclasstru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=29"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/podcastmasterclasstru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=29"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
