JCS Digital Media Example Podcast: Recent Episodes
ariel anne
This podcast is specifically for JCS Digital Media students, spring 2020. We will be looking at making 'Radioactive' (KUOW) style podcast reports. I will lay out directions for our podcast unit in podcast format as an example.
Check out the Anchor app and try recording,
Look at the ThoughCo article "What Makes a Story Newsworthy" by Tony Rogers (impact or consequence, conflict, loss of life/property destruction, proximity, prominence, timeliness, novelty, human interest).
Ask before recording others, include background noises to set the scene, use m4avolume.com or other programs to increase volume from phone call recordings.
You might start off with a story, descriptive language, surprising information or opinions, a joke, or a question. Start writing a draft script for your podcast. Think about who you want to talk to and what questions you'll ask, and leave space for unknown replies.
Find 3 quality sources about your topic using the CRAAP test! https://researchguides.ben.edu/source-evaluation
Write down the source (web URL), the title of the article, author, publisher, date and notes of what you learned and specific information from that source.
Put it in your Google doc under "Research and Sources"
(select "view" and "show document outline" to bring up a table of contents on the left-hand side to navigate easily through your sections)
- Start off by listening to the TED Talk by Julia Dhar: How to Disagree Productively and Find Common Ground: https://www.ted.com/talks/julia_dhar_how_to_disagree_productively_and_find_common_ground?language=en#t-203891
- Next look at the issues listed at Politico and add any to your list of topics you are interested in: https://www.politico.com/2020-election/candidates-views-on-the-issues/
- Take a look at your notes from last time about what you are interested in, your big question, local and online experts or resources, community questions and expert questions. Add anything else you are thinking about
- What are different perspectives people might have on this issue or topic? What are things (almost) everyone can probably agree on about this topic?
- What background information, assumptions, and biases do you currently have on this topic? Where do they come from?
-
What is something you can DO to experience this topic or learn more about it? Think about somewhere you can go something you could experience, someone you could talk to. (Not just reading about it.)
