This course walks you through what a podcast is and why you would want to start one; how to plan your podcast; how to create a system so you don’t have to waste time repeating work with each and every podcast; how to handle cover art; how to prepare for your podcast; how to record, edit, and upload your podcast; and where to go now that you’ve created a podcast. It shows you the amazing opportunity you, as a podcaster, have to change the world.

The purpose of this course is to empower students to take what they have learned and are passionate about, whether it’s history, science, literature, or any other topic, and go make a difference. Podcasting teaches kids research, essay building, elocution, public speaking, web design, social marketing, and audio-editing skills, and it shows them the power and responsibility of having a global microphone in the real world. This class offers real world experience in career-building and life-changing skills.
