Digital storytelling has the potential to cultivate agile learning and kick start creativity for any college or university campus. You can podcast scholarship, teaching, and practice in higher education. With a growing population tuning into podcasts, this audio medium is on the rise even among higher ed professionals to tell our story. Podcasts offer both information and entertainment outlets for listeners to tune in anywhere, anytime they want. This on-demand, audio content allows the media to be streamed or downloaded, and offers listeners a way to participate in the slow web movement. Instead of a quick like, comment, or post we typically experience on social media or online, podcasts provide a longer form, intimate experience and connection with the hosts and ideas shared.
This longer media format often offers deeper insights, showcases personality and personal styles, and helps to interpret current projects and experiences from this audio narrative. With a wide variety of creative formats (e.g. interviews, commentary, panels, storytelling, etc.), podcast episodes can vary in time, style, and approach. The audio medium of the podcast lets you decide the frequency, distribution, and how you will produce the topic. Additionally, you can include resources for listeners to access further information through episode details, resources, show notes, and transcripts. To plant the podcast seed, here are resources to get YOU STARTED with podcast production/hosting at your own institution from the #PodSaveHigherEd workshop.
