Are you a scientist, policy wonk, or expert looking to start podcasting — or a podcaster looking to add expert interviews to your stories?
In this workshop, we'll cover getting past pesky jargon, simplifying complex ideas without dumbing them down, and creating compelling storytelling around obscure ideas. Whether your expertise is in microbiology or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this class will help you translate your stories to a wider audience.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Anna Fisher-Pinkert is an award-winning podcast producer and communications strategist. Anna won a CASE Gold Circle of Excellence award in 2019 for the podcast Veritalk from Harvard's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Anna began her career making multimedia for science and history museums across the country. She attended the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies in 2010, and her love of expert-driven content led her to work at WBUR, BackStory with the American History Guys and WGBH's NOVA. She has previously taught at CCTV, and this class was inspired by a workshop Anna led with a Harvard graduate student group, Science in the News, on science podcasting.
