Powerful Podcasting
Podcasts can be a very effective way for you to connect with your audience by telling stories in your own way and in your own words. With listeners able to subscribe to episodes very easily through services such as iTunes, podcasting provides regular opportunities to interact with existing followers and reach new ones. And with new hosting options like AudioBoo and SoundCloud there are now more ways of sharing your content through social media channels.
Our one-day Powerful Podcasting workshop will show you how to collect stories, case studies and other relevant audio material, which you can use to create engaging podcasts that explain and promote your work. You will gain practical experience of audio editing, creating MP3 files and sharing your podcast online. By the end of the day, you will have the knowledge and confidence to create your own podcast.
What you will learn
By the end of the day you will know how to:
- understand different podcast formats and decide which are best suited to your organisation and project
- use audio recording equipment with confidence
- use advanced interviewing techniques to make your interviewee comfortable and get the best content from your interview
- edit your material using powerful but low-cost editing software (Audacity)
- prepare your podcast for sharing online.
How your organisation will benefit
By learning how to plan, record and edit audio podcasts, your in-house team will be able to quickly and easily create compelling audio content on a small budget. Telling stories through audio will help you to:
- give a voice to the people you work with and support
- tell the stories of the people in your community
- create content you can offer to radio stations supporting your media campaigns
- connect with your supporters through different social media channels
- reach a new audience who can engage with you while ‘on the go’
- feedback instantly to news stories and issues relevant to your organisation
- share your events with a wider audience and provide a legacy for your meetings and speakers
- highlight your expertise in your field and make people come to you as a source of trusted information.
