Podcasting Workshop with UW Libraries

Are you a UW graduate student/faculty/staff member engaged in academic or professional work that you wish you could communicate to a broader audience? Interested in building your resume while learning how to tell compelling stories about meaningful topics? Curious about what you can do with a podcast?

If YES: the UW Libraries invites you to register for Storytelling Fellows! This is an innovative, hands-on program designed to highlight the interests and accomplishments of UW community members, using digital-storytelling skills and technologies. This totally free, four-week online program will take fellows through the start-to-finish process of envisioning and creating a podcast suitable for an online portfolio, professional presentation, or academic project.

Folks who have participated in past Storytelling Fellows programs have created podcasts for the following reasons: 

To make digital streaming content for websites:

• To communicate their work either to professional or public audiences
• To learn a creative, emergent form they’ll use in their teaching
• To learn a skill they can highlight on the job market and employ in their careers
• To tell stories that have never been told and never will be unless they do it
• To have pure fun

Storytelling Fellows Course Details:

• The workshop will run from October 18 to November 8.
• The workshop consists of four synchronous Friday sessions hosted via Zoom from 2:00-4:00 pm PST on October 18, October 25, November 1, and November 8. There will also be an asynchronous component via Discord. In order to build community effectively, attendance is expected for the synchronous sessions. The goal is to finish a 2-5 minute podcast – or a podcast of any length.

No previous experience with media-making is necessary. Really, the only requirement is a desire to be creative, to finish a project of your own design, and to interact with other graduate students across disciplines
