Your instructor Brendan Davis shows you all the podcasting ropes in a conversational but highly focused style. Watch and listen as we create an episode of a showtogether, in close to real time,and learn how it’s done – from the initial concept to distribution. Real-world examples use familiar, popular shows to make the course relatable, and Davis uses his radio and teaching chops to make it fun to watch and listen toalong the way.
* July 2020 UPDATE: all those who purchase the course can request a private 20-minute Zoom call with the Instructor to answer specific questions! *
The course is designed to help the beginner get started, to fill in knowledge gapsfor the developing podcaster who wants to get better, and to give new ideas and insights to help even an experienced host with their show(s).
The material is organized into 10 sections, outlined below and detailed in the videos, in order to lead you through the entire process with success. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to produce and publish your very own podcast, too, or to significantly improve the show or shows you are already doing.
Some topics – such as the more subjective, philosophical ones, the “whys” – are covered in a very concise way, while many of the objective, technical parts – the “hows” – are given a much deeper look. In the Case Study sections in particular, we get VERY detailed. The raw interview and the subsequent edit are both presented in REAL TIMEso that you can hear and see EXACTLY how every creative and technical decision was made, and learn how to apply this type of thinking to YOUR show.
