WRIT 153 SC - Introduction to Podcasting

In this course, to ground us in the foundations of today’s rapid rise in audiobooks and podcasts, we begin with tradition of oral storytelling in ancient Greece and in African and African American traditions. We will then examine a range of approaches to podcasting and the ways in which these approaches connect with and disrupt more other forms of argument driven writing. Students will select a podcast and analyze the way it presents and tells a story about a specific topic, considering both the text and accompanying audio content and sounds. Students will then create and deliver their own podcast episode.
