Day 11 - Finish Podcast

Monday, March 30th, 2026

Objectives

  • I can produce a completed podcast using professional tools and applications.

Warmup: Recording & Editing Best Practices

Read the Podcast Recording & Editing Guide carefully. This guide covers the best practices for recording and editing a podcast.

As you read, think about your own podcast:

  • What recording tips can you still apply as you finish up?
  • Are there any editing techniques you haven’t tried yet?

Checkpoint: Warmup

  • I have read the Podcast Recording & Editing Guide.
  • I have identified at least one tip I can apply to my podcast today.

Work Session

  1. Finish your podcast.
  2. Export it as an MP3.
  3. Upload it to CTLS to share.
  4. Listen to other student podcasts.
  5. Leave constructive comments on other student work.
You may use the microphones for the first 15 minutes of class only. After that, you must use the built-in microphone on your computer.
