As PTW teachers and scholars, we are always writers. Writing with words, writing with visuals, writing with sound, and writing with dynamic content.  But we need to better engender that writing is design. In our PTC courses, the ultimate goal is for students to understand that design redefines communication as a coherent activity unifying people, spaces, and ideas. In that way, all writing is always hybrid.

In this panel presentation, the speakers embrace all-writing-as-hybrid-design through podcasting and other forms of dynamic audio design. We explore podcasting as hybridity through three lenses: curricular strategy, course development, and assignment design.
