Podcast Storytelling Workshop
Emily Paulos
Listen to segments produced by previous workshop participants (with minimal or no previous podcasting experience), and tune in to StoryCenter’s podcast, The Shortest Distance.
The best podcasts gather together a series of smaller, integrated stories. If you or your organization are interested in creating a platform for people whose voices need to be heard or launching a series of episodes that explore a fascinating topic, we hope you’ll join us for this workshop.
In seven sessions guided by facilitators with years of experience in digital storytelling and podcast production, you’ll find a clear, distinctive voice for your podcast, within a storytelling framework. After discussions of podcast theory and several hands-on tutorials, you will finish the course by constructing a polished podcast segment.
