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
As part of Podcast Week, we’re asking for submissions to our first annual Podcast Competition. Submissions will be accepted until March 21st at 11:59pm. SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MARCH 23! Winners will be chosen by professional podcasters, and announced during Podcast Week. There will be prizes!
Podcast submissions should be 10 minutes maximum, no exceptions. Excerpts or highlight compilations are great; send us your best work! Submissions will be judged on the following: content, writing, use of sound, and editing/production quality.
