PODCAST

"The following steps will help you get going with your project:
  1. Develop a topic. Using traditional pre-writing, work to narrow your topic into something specific. If you’re telling a story, think about good elements of narrative. If you’re making an argument in your video essay, think about the elements of effective argument. Once you have your topic and angle, you’re ready for the next step.
  2. Create an outline and a basic script for your video.
  3. Collect your voice files and / or music. Free Creative Commons music can be found at the Creative Commons Legal Music For Videos site.
  4. Upload your files into your sound editing software and begin the process of creating your podcast
