Podcasting 102

Recording and editing are two of the fundamental building blocks of any podcast or audio project. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll get an in-depth introduction to recording in the studio and in the field. You will also learn the basics of audio editing and how to make you and your guests’ voices sound their best. This workshop is meant for beginners and will be a fun, relaxed atmosphere - no previous experience necessary!

Please bring a laptop to the workshop if you have one. The instructor will send instructions to download the free editing software beforehand.
