Podcasting is the new radio DJ/talk show host and the great thing with this day and age is that is it open to almost anyone to try.
The first lesson looks at other podcasts and then goes into researching ideas for a podcast of your own.
Lesson 1: Looking at podcasts
Lesson 2: Have a cause
Lesson 3: Logo
Lesson 4: Sound Editing
I also have a lesson based on writing podcasts that you can also check out.
The finished podcast can be handed in for speech credits. You can also collect together the things you've written to hand in for a writing portfolio. If you don't have enough for the portfolio you can still hand in your script for the media studies standard on writing an article for a brief.
