Podcasting: A Practical Guide
Producing a podcast is simple, but producing one that people will want to listen to takes a bit more know-how! What's the best format for your show? What equipment do you need? Where will you publish it? This workshop provides a practical guide to the planning and production of effective podcasts that will engage listeners. Participants will have the opportunity to evaluate a range of podcasts, as well as record, edit and publish their own.
I really enjoyed the workshop and picked up some useful tips - the enthusiasm of the trainers inspired me to give podcasting a go.
