Start to podcast

Want to start creating your own science podcast? In this one-day workshop, by podcast maker Eva Moeraert, you’ll discover the whole process: from idea and concept to recording and editing and walk away with your very first piece of podcast. This workshop provides a hands-on, practical introduction in a single day.

What’s in it for you?

• Choose the right format: explore the podcast landscape and pick the form that fits your goal and your audience.
• Concept & interview skills: build a podcast concept with a proven approach and learn how to guide and frame an interview.
• Hands-on recording & editing: apply microphone and recording techniques and edit your first piece in Descript or Reaper.

This workshop is ideal for researchers who want a fast, practical introduction to podcasting, whether you already have an idea or just want to give it a try.

Learning outcomes

After having attended this workshop, participants will:

• have an overview of the podcast landscape and be able to identify a format that fits their goal and audience;
• be able to translate an initial idea into a basic podcast concept using a structured ‘from idea to format’ approach;
