Registration for this course is closed. If you’re a podcast listener and are looking for interesting serious topics, here’s your chance to listen and discuss some award-winners. We’ll review winners of Pulitzer, Peabody, and Edward R. Murrow awards. All of these are journalism awards, so expect some current, and often heavy, subjects. Other intriguing podcasts will be interspersed and recommendations welcomed. Participants are expected to be familiar with what a podcast is and how to listen to it. Everyone will be asked to listen to at least one episode of an award-winning podcast per week and come to the next class ready to discuss it in a breakout room. The instructor will provide the internet location of the podcasts, but may also demonstrate them on a smartphone. PowerPoint slides will be used to provide information about the awards and the winning podcasts. These slides will be emailed to students after every class session. Basic experience using the internet and podcast players on smartphones or tablets is highly recommended.
