Event Description: Podcasting is an effective way to share audio with members of an organization or the public at large. Whether you want to provide an audio newsletter for your members or make discussions or talks available to a larger audience, podcasts are a great way to get the word out and share information. As long as you have access to a computer with internet, the ability to record, and editing software, you can have a podcast. This workshop will equip individuals and organizations to get started immediately. Participants will leave the workshop with an understanding of who should be podcasting when it is most effective and appropriate technical skills that include basic audio editing, recording uploading podcasts to a web platform CFUV will provide a handout with information on everything covered in the workshop as well as web addresses to the free software covered, help manuals for the software and the link to the online presentation.
