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 new workshop.
In eight sessions guided by Bojan Fürst and Michelle Dahlenburg 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.
This workshop requires attendance at six online sessions on consecutive Fridays from February 14, 2025 - April 4, 2025. Each session is two hours and begins at 11am Pacific Time/ 2pm Eastern Time.
Workshop closes when registration is at capacity.
