In the last decade podcasts have amassed national audiences, led by expert story-telling in productions such as Code Switch, Serial, and This American Life. This course, designed as a seminar and workshop, will give students a broad view of how podcasts arose on the landscape of professional journalism, help students understand audio news production and develop or sharpen their skills at it, and enable them to build a foundation of skills that will allow them to produce their own podcasts or to enter the fast-growing field of podcast journalism.

This course will run completely online over six (6) weeks. Every week, there will be one (1) scheduled live Zoom session to attend, and five to six (5-6) hours of asynchronous content to complete, in addition to any outside reading or assignments.
