For your final assignment, each group should submit a final version of their podcast.

With your team, record your podcast via Zoom. If using Zoom, you do not need to use video, because this is a podcast. Don’t just follow your script, perform it! Practice beforehand so you know when to pause, what to emphasize, etc. Be creative!

Podcasts should include the following:

1. A strong opening (2-5 minutes)

   • Check this out for ideas - and then introduce yourselves (names).

   How audio stories begin

   • Go back to your proposal for other good text to record.

2. Incorporation of Interview data (10-25 minutes)

3. Closing (3-5 minutes)

   • Idea: Record text from your Interview memo - what did we learn and what do we still need to know?

4. Light editing

   • Eliminate distractions, long pauses, and questions that don't yield the most compelling answers
   • Expert level (optional): Add music

5. Show notes

   • A link to the episode (Upload to class Google Drive folder and get link)
   • If appropriate, information about all the speakers (name, affiliation)
   • Any external references (links to organizations, documents, or other referenced material)
   • Credits for group participation

6. Equitable participation of group members

   • Not all need to speak on the podcast recording, but all must contribute a roughly shared amount of labor. Credits are critical in making clear everyone's contribution.
