CRWN 98B Podcasting: Digital Storytelling in Ireland

Class taught in Ireland together with WRIT 2. Students immerse themselves in Irish culture and history and learn from local guest speakers. CRWN 98B builds an in-depth understanding of the artistic medium of podcasting. Students learn to analyze the means through which podcasting encodes and conveys information and the influential role it has come to play in contemporary social discourse. Students also develop practical skills, such as storytelling, sound gathering, interviewing, scriptwriting, and audio editing and demonstrate the development of a “radio voice” by rendering a research project from the concurrent WRIT 2 course into the audio medium.
