About the Project: This project involves Communication & Media majors creating a ninety-minute, three-part podcast series as their final capstone project. Students transition from learners to practitioners by proposing, scripting, recording, editing, and broadcasting their original podcasts, which must address both personal and public concerns. The podcast format is chosen for its relevance and growth in the industry, and the long-form nature of the series encourages students to develop storytelling, research, and production skills. The course emphasizes understanding the opportunities and limitations of media in human communication.
