Course: Manage Projects and Ensure a Safe Workplace

Week 12: Major Project: The Podcast Project
(Elements 1 - 5)

PODCAST PRODUCTION
1. Record your interview, introduction, conclusion and obtain the other audio elements to be used in your podcast e.g. music, voices, backgrounds, sound effects. Assemble and label the audio resources (clips) so that they will be ready for editing.

2. Edit the audio elements, add other audio if needed, adjust volume, create fades and organize audio clips into the finished podcast.

3. Publish your podcast – make it available to users (staff) by placing it on the Intranet’s wiki and your blog site.

As an alternative to interviewing another person you may prefer to  use voice to text translation software to simulate an interview with an ‘expert’.
