Not every podcast can be a beautiful, sound-rich narrative investigation. Sometimes, you’ve just got to get an episode out into the world, and have more than one production flow in your toolbelt.
In this workshop, we will talk about some of the techniques that the NHPR production team has found useful for creating three different kinds of podcast episodes:
Fully scripted narratives
Lightly scripted and banter-heavy, but still well-reported pieces of journalism
“Enhanced Reality Chat Cast” with editing, second drafts, and fact-checking
We will unpack the production process for all three, and give you concrete techniques that you can experiment with in your own shows.
