Course Description
In this course, students will explore the fundamentals of podcasting, from audio storytelling and interview techniques to recording and editing. Through hands-on practice, they will develop the technical and creative skills needed to produce compelling podcast episodes. During the second half of the course, students will examine the forces driving teachers away from the profession-including economic pressures, unsustainable workloads, and systemic policy issues-while learning how podcasting can elevate these personal narratives to raise public awareness. The course culminates in the production of a short-form podcast episode in the Honors College Podcast Studio, integrating class discussions and interview insights. By the end of the course, students will understand how podcasting can be a powerful tool for advocacy and social change.
