Do you have a story that’s meant for a medium beyond the page? Ever wondered how podcasters prepare for and conduct interviews, incorporate music and sound effects, or even identify the types of stories that make for great audio in the first place?
Welcome to Literary Podcasting, a weeklong summer intensive where you’ll learn the fundamentals of writing, recording, and editing nonfiction narratives for audio. Drawing inspiration from the spheres of personal essay and memoir, audio journalism, and radio drama, we’ll practice techniques that will help you craft compelling narratives, showcase your unique storytelling voice, and engage a wider community of listeners.
While no prior experience is necessary for this course, there are a few key requirements:access to a smartphone for recording, a computer for editing (a laptop is preferred so that you can work both inside and outside of class time), a pair of wired (i.e. non-Bluetooth) headphones that can be used with both devices, and willingness to download and install free editing software onto your computer.

SLIDING SCALE TUITION
Full tuition is the cost per-student of running the class. If you choose a tier below full tuition, you are receiving a discount. If you choose to make a donation in addition to full tuition, you are helping to cover the cost for students who are not able to pay the full amount.
The mid-level tier is a discounted rate for people whose household income is at or above living wage but who have limited discretionary income.
The low-level tier is for people whose household income is below living wage or who need extra assistance to meet their needs.
All sliding-scale needs are self-assessed, and we will never request or require proof of need.
Please see our FAQ for more information, including installment plans, refund policy, and sick and inclement weather policy.
