I recently attended the excellent Podcasting 101 by Jess Fairfax. Having started a policy and advocacy project 4 years ago alongside a PhD I decided to develop a podcast #NavigatingHealth as an accessible way to facilitate story telling but had no idea where to start. The course provides a structured program in a safe environment with like-minded learners. I highly recommend the program to all those interested to start their own podcast – the focus on content and engagement of the audience was very insightful alongside the technical aspects of how to record, edit and publish.
