Introduction to Podcasting In-Person
Are you a UVic student, staff, or faculty member and want to learn more about podcasting? If so, then this hands-on workshop will give you an introduction to podcasting, using your laptop, and teach you to edit your podcast using Audacity—a free, cross-platform audio editing program.
In this workshop, participants will learn about the following:
- the key features of an ongoing podcast or a one-off podcast
- best practices for interviewing people or panels of people for podcasts

- the pros and cons of free and paid podcast publishing services
In this workshop, participants will learn to do the following:

- create voiceovers
- fade audio in and out in separate audio tracks
- use a free podcasting publishing service
- publish a stand-alone audio interview or recording
- OPTIONAL: use Zoom to record remote interviews
Note: this workshop will be held in person
