And why do we love them?— What are the most popular formats and genres?— What do you need to get started? We show you hand held recorders like the Zoom H4n and introduce you to sound recording, microphones and setting up a mini studio.— How do you find and tell audio stories?— How do you shape an interview? A question path? — We introduce you to Audacity and the basics of thinking about editing. How do you find music you can clear rights to use in your mix?— How do you release and host your podcast? We introduce you to platforms like Anchor which distribute your podcast to 10 platforms including Spotify and iTunes. And also to Soundcloud. — Why you still need visual content, like photos, for audio stories and how to think about your website working with your podcast.— You become a publisher when you release a podcast so what are the legal and consent issues you need to be aware of?— Content management, monitoring and measuring the success of your podcast.— Marketing and social media— Wrap and recap. We share our ideas and discoveries with you. At the end of the one day workshop session people should have a clear understanding of podcasting and the basic tools and techniques needed to create one. People can download free software like Audacity in advance to get familiar with it, they can set up free accounts on Anchor and Soundcloud and explore and play with recording and their own voice using their smartphone in advance as it will help them engage and learn. On the day you will have access to an iMac for the editing introduction with John but you are free to bring your own mobile tool, if it is wifi enabled, and work on it if you prefer and if you already have a mobile handheld recorder like a Zoom recorder do bring it along. John will also share the participants survey with you to complete which gives us an idea of your skills and experience but it is completely fine to be a total beginner.<a href="http://podcastingireland.ie/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">podcastingireland.ie</a> for more about us
