Podcast Week
Macalester Podcast Week is the first ever celebration of student-produced podcasts taking place April 4-8th, 2022. Podcasts are meant to be shared! Let’s move them out of the classroom and into the Macalester community and beyond to recognize the work they’ve done.
The week will include panels with professional podcasters, podcasting workshops, and prizes. Encourage your students to submit their podcasts produced in and outside of class. Stay tuned for announcements about workshops, panels, speakers, and more!
When: April 4 – 8th, 2022
Where: Online and on campus
