Intro to Podcast Production: Tell Stories That Inspire

“Thank you so much for taking part in this course and I hope you've enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the podcast you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand-new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help me guide you better if you need advice. Here are the main steps to follow: The Genre and Audience Work out what you really want to say and to whom. The Guests Find the best guests to help you say what you want to say.

The Setup Get the best sound and record live where possible.
Research Look up the podcasts in your area of interest and connect with the listeners. Lastly, talk to the other students! This course is full of people like you, so connect with each other. If you share interests, use the cross-promo technique and guest on each other's show. Give feedback, support, and follow! Let's form our own podcasting community right here. I can't wait to see what you've come up with. You can share your work with us so by clicking on 'Create your project'. Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to them. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I will be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community. See you there! ”
