Since podcasts are becoming an increasingly popular content medium, our company hopes to capitalize on this by creating our own. In this project, students will collaborate with me to take advantage of trending media and create a season of our own podcast. We would like students to deliver a 2-episode podcast series based on our company’s need to resonate with our target audience.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

• Collaborating with the project manager to form a name and a theme for the podcast.
• Create cover art for the podcast.
• Record and edit each episode (technology is a big part of this project) for remote recording on zoom.
• Use editing software GarageBand (macOS, iOS) to edit the podcast and train the project manager and use a hosting software to upload it to hosting platforms
• Script various components of each podcast episode such as the introduction, welcome, call to action, and outro.

By the end of the project, students should complete the following list of activities (this is basically a retelling of the steps above):

• Scripted the introduction, welcome, call to action, and outro.
• Recorded and edited each episode involving two remote locations.
• Train the project manager to use the editing and hosting software.

Final deliverables should include

• A fully produced 2-episode podcast series.

Students will connect directly with me for mentorship throughout the project. I will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

• Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
• What general topics do we hope to cover?
• How will we promote our brand and products/services each episode while still creating something that customers are interested in listening to?
