Podcasting and Radio News

Class Agenda – Wednesday, Nov. 1

Script drafts are due on Monday, which means that we will again be having in-person edit sessions in lieu of regular class. You can sign up for a time slot here.


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.

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.
