How do I know which criticism to take?

How do I get over being a perfectionist and get work done?

How do busy students fit podcast production in their schedules? The short answer is: however they can. In this episode we hear from students Kyler and Stella.

They both have film podcasts, but they are on different workflow paths right now. One of them is on top of their work getting their episodes done, and the other not so much.

Although busy schedules can keep students from being able to complete their podcasts, but our guests reveal that there's actually a lot more to it.

And how did I get into Podcasting?

In this 1st episode of the 6th season, we meet two of my students who say podcasting scares them.

Interviews take a good amount of invisible work. It is one of those skills that we tend to judge based on the answers we hear alone -- we don't tend to think about the preparation behind the questions that got those answers.

Today's guest, Lane, talks about how the choice to produce an interview-based podcast has becoming a demanding endeavor and how the lessons learned in class are being incorporated -- when a guest is available to interview that is...

As a former TV producer, I am flummoxed by video podcasts. This week I was the student as I stepped into the world of video podcasting. My class helped me setup and record this week's video episode featuring Mel -- the host and producer of Farmer's Daughter - a podcast about women growing up in and advocating for agriculture. We touch on the generational differences in podcast consumption, the ways to defy stereotypes with our stories, and how Rodeo Princesses can make great podcast hosts.

Life happens. And sometimes we get derailed. In today's episode we talk to Trey how took the Podcasting class to share his story. Then an injury forced him to take a step back and heal. But he didn't give up and in the end, was able to make it work and get a podcast done.

Some topics discussed in this episode:

- how an athletic injury derailed his podcast production

- how important it is to communicate with your professor and not “ghost” the class

- the desire to utilize podcasting to teach others by sharing our stories

- the intense schedule of a college athlete

- having an open mind, creativity, and dedication are important in making a podcast

Why take a podcasting class? Its a DIY medium -- you just need a phone and your voice, right? But students (and instructors) get so much more out of a class - like feedback and deadlines.

In the first episode of the new season, we talk to Nova about her podcast Relationship Status and how the class helped overcome and appreciate her perfectionism. We also discuss why anyone would take a podcasting class, and how much time editing actually takes.

Were back for Season 5 -- that's 5 semesters of teaching Podcasting and listening to the ups and downs of learning to podcast. Each week we'll hear from a student in my class as they work on their podcast and find out the challenges and the joys of podcast producing. So, if you're interested in our class or interested in teaching podcasting, this is the pod for you. Welcome to the Pod Class.

Teaching podcasting to undergraduates has its challenges but it is nothing compared to teaching 6th graders. In this episode, I discuss my experience visiting my daughter's class to help them work on a podcasting project. And we have a special guest -- and podcast producer, my daughter. She shares her view of the class visit.
