Learn the fundamentals of podcasting
Podcasting... it's an embedded feature of our modern world, having a huge impact across education, business, leisure, and special interests.
A podcast can be anything from a fictional story-based series, to in-depth interviews, to documentary or magazine-style programs; your options are only limited by your imagination!
​​
Not only that, they can inspire the same devotion that some people have when they tune into their favourite Netflix series.
​​
So if you're wanting to start your own podcast, and want the lowdown just in one weekend, you'll learn everything you need to be broadcasting by Monday!
You'll walk away with a demo podcast you've recorded and edited yourself - so book in today as places are limited.
