For this project you will work in your teams. Your assignment is to produce a 5-10 minute podcast on an issue pertaining to this class. You can either interview an expert on the topic of social media (or a professor about their research interests) and make that interview available in form of a podcast, or discuss a social media & PR issue in your group and edit that discussion into a podcast. The goal of this project is two-fold: (1) to produce a meaningful audio resource on the topic of social media, and (2) to demonstrate that you possess the necessary skills to produce a podcast. You will be evaluated both on the content and the technical quality of the podcast.
The specific topic of your interview or your group discussion will depend on the area of expertise of your interviewee and/or your own area of interest. This is your time to be creative! If you decide to interview an outside source, be sure to develop your interview questions ahead of your interview and to phrase your questions in such a way as to avoid simple yes/no type answers.

Creating a podcast is something that I want to try soon. A friend told me that making a podcast is challenging, but it is rewarding that it will keep you going. But I don't think making a group podcast is something ideal especially in my case that I prefer to work alone. But of course, I am willing to make some adjustment so that it might work to all of us and be able to produce a great podcast in the right time!
