Podcast WePod Guide to Audio Storytelling
This podcast mini-series gives tips on how to manage the storytelling process from finding a story and crafting your piece to recording and editing your podcast.
The audio guide is accompanied by a PDF booklet which gives a rundown of the main themes spoken about throughout the episodes.
As part of the WePod European Podcasting project, News Decoder ran a series of podcasting workshops in secondary and higher level educational institutions across Europe. These workshops, aimed at young people between the ages of 14-25 gave us an insight into the podcasting landscape and young people’s need when approaching and understanding podcasting.
This audio guide to storytelling aims to address the gaps in confidence and knowledge that young people and professionals face when getting into podcasting and storytelling.
