Do you want to share your research with a broader audience? Curious about podcasting as a means of public engagement? Interested in creating a podcast about your findings but not sure where to start and what it takes?

The Sociological Review Foundation is hosting an Introduction to Podcasting workshop. Delivered by 'Research Podcasts', this practical and interactive session will be held online and is suitable for all academics - from PhD students to professors - interested in making podcasting work for them.

Date: Monday 17 November 
Time: 10:00-16:00 with a break for lunch
Location: Online via Zoom
Fee: £250

Topics will include: developing your podcast idea, how to record and edit high quality audio, and how to launch and run your podcast to reach your desired audience. The day will be led by Krissie Brighty-Glover, director of training at Research Podcasts, who will unpack the dos and don'ts of academic podcasting using case studies from Research Podcasts’ production network. We’ll also hear from a successful sociological podcaster about how the podcast form has worked for them. Uncommon Sense producer Alice Bloch, formerly of shows including BBC Radio 4's 'Thinking Allowed', will also be on hand to give feedback - including in a short follow-up call to be offered to each participant - and to reflect on what sociologists have to gain from podcasting their research and ideas.
