Podcasting has revolutionized audio, allowing new voices and forms to be shared more widely than ever before. This course will provide a comprehensive overview of podcasting. Drawing speakers from throughout the audio industry, the course will address some of the central questions in podcasting: How do you develop an idea, analyze its place in the industry, and create a show? How do you make that show something people want to listen to? Whose voices are you uplifting and why?
Students will propose new shows early in the course, and refine their ideas in light of the information imparted by the speakers. By the end of the course, students will have produced 3 minutes of a show pitch introducing their idea, which they will present to industry leaders in a panel.
Notes: This 4-credit course is open to any and all undergraduate students at NYU, regardless of their home college or school, class standing, major, etc. For students pursuing a journalism major or minor, this course counts as an elective.
