This unit teaches students how to finalize, publish, and promote podcast episodes across platforms — including podcast hosts and YouTube — while applying portable and desktop production workflows. Students will practice technical setups, episode structure (intros/outros, outlines vs scripts), basic editing in Audacity, and audience-building tactics that prepare them for capstone production and distribution in Unit 4.
Learning Objectives
- Analyze and select appropriate distribution platforms and publishing workflows (podcast hosts, RSS, and YouTube), justifying choices based on audience, format, and technical requirements
- Apply hardware and software workflows — including RØDE Streamer X with Streamlabs, portable recorders, and cloud-to-computer transfer processes — to capture reliable, high-quality recordings
- Demonstrate episode production tasks by creating polished segments: preparing guests/green room, implementing intros and outros, editing basic tracks in Audacity, and uploading to a podcast host
- Evaluate promotion and discoverability strategies (SEO, social media, accessory choices, and AI prompt engineering) and produce a measurable plan to optimize reach and engagement
