How to make a narrative podcast: Seven considerations for journalists
Add to my calendar

"How to make a narrative podcast: Seven tips for journalists" is a listen-and-learn interactive workshop, where attendees are taken into the production of a single episode to reveal what needs to be learned (and un-learned) by journalists to make a compelling audio story. Radio Workshop's team will use the episode Bookish (reported in Nigeria) to discuss the following seven areas:

  1. Finding a good story (for audio).
  2. Identifying a larger question.
  3. Imagining the story (and planning the reporting).
  4. Capturing quality audio.
  5. Writing for the ear.
  6. Sound design and use of music.
  7. Reaching your audience.

The workshop provides useful guidance for a newcomer to podcasting, while also building on the skills of seasoned audio journalists. The team will share easy-to-execute tips that journalists working across all platforms and in diverse geographic contexts can incorporate into their reporting, and offer access to a range of production guides, handbooks, and other resources.

*To attend this workshop participants are required to bring their own laptop.
