Do you listen to intriguing podcasts and watch hilarious YouTube videos knowing that you, too, could be a memorable media storyteller?
We invite you to join us this summer for our five-day intensive summer camp at AUM that’s devoted to producing your audio and video story. Discover careers in podcasting, TV & PR while learning the architecture of building memorable podcasts and video clips. Create your own feature story-turned podcast episode & video segment for your portfolio. The program ends on the last day with a listening party and viewing of student work. The camp is directed by Ms. Katherine Irwin, a lecturer in Communication, media writing and audio production and also led by Dr. Hilary Gamble, an Associate Professor in Communication and Video Production.
This workshop has been made possible by a grant from the Alabama State Council on the Arts.
