Month: November 2017

Updates/Reminders

This week, Wednesday’s class is optional. I will be here for anyone who needs help with anything: last-minute script edits, editing assistance, etc., but if you’ve already finished your podcast or need to travel for the holiday, that’s okay; an absence will not count against you.

Final due date for podcast #1 is Monday, November 27.

Scripts for podcast #2 are due next Wednesday, Nov. 29. This again means that we will be doing in-person edit sessions instead of a regular class. Please sign up here for a time slot.

Rough draft of podcast #2 due Wednesday, Dec. 6.

Final draft of podcast episode #2 due Wednesday, Dec. 13. (We won’t have class that day. The last day of class is Dec. 11, which will be a production day for anyone who is still editing. We’ll also listen to some of your podcasts and I’ll bring in snacks.)

 

 

“Your Dream Catcher” is a podcast about dreams. In each episode, dreams presented as fiction stories followed by dream interpreters’ or psychologists’ analysis.

In my first episode, Paul Dorogoff, a dream interpreter, helped me to analyze my dream. Paul has been reading dreams for over 30 years. And, for the past 10 years, every Sunday, he has been leading a dream study group at Edgar Cayce’s center in New York City.

Do you ever wonder where our dreams come from? Are they creations of our consciousness or unconsciousness? In my podcast “Your Dream Catcher” I want to take you into the world of dreams where you can explore meanings of symbols, destiny, karma, and life. You can decide for yourself: are your dreams – your reality, or is your reality your dream?

How do we interpret our dreams is up to us: meanings of subjects and events appearing in our dreams are influenced by our own perceptions and experiences. For instance, a snake for you can mean fear. But for another person, it can mean luck. Therefore, dreams are very individual and indicate something that only you can relate to.

As you’re working on your scripts, it might help to have this to refer to. Here’s a typical structure for an episodic podcast:

Intro theme song.

Welcome from host.

Any announcements (live tapings, upcoming shows, ads/fundraisers, etc.)

Introduce episode/segment.

Play episode/segment.

Final comments from host: Credits, website, please rate and review on iTunes, etc.

Outro theme song.

It’s not required for this class, but if you intend to distribute this online, you’ll want to consider designing a graphic for your podcast. Something simple that captures the identity of your show, at a minimum size of 1400×1400.

You also will want to check out this helpful guide for podcast distribution.

For the rest of today, we’ll be looking at/listening to more of your radio pieces and checking in on your progress with your podcasts.
