KHS Podcasting Guidelines

​(A BIG thank you to the folks at GotTechEd, The Poscast.  All information on this page can be found at this webpage: https://gotteched.com/the-teachers-guide-to-student-podcasting/)

So you want to podcast. . .

The Plan Comes First! Focus on the topic.

• Podcast Title
• Target length. How long will your podcast be?
• Come up with general questions that will be answered during the podcast. Questions should relate to the topic. After recording, listen to see if you really did answer the questions.
• Content should match the title. This is the audience’s first glimpse of the topic.

The Team - One person can do it all, but it may be helpful to surround yourself with a team.

• Producer - helps with storyboard, content, and direction of podcast
• Host/Co-Host - Leads the narrative of the podcast
• Guests - offers expertise or opinions on the topic
• Editor - responsible for editing audio and publishing the podcast.
• Podcasts come in segments: Introductory segment, segments, & concluding segment

The Audio

• Intro music - should fit your topic
• Outro music - should either fit your topic, your audience or be more reflective of you.
• Segment separators - short clips (usually instrumental) that separate each segment.
• Sound effects - should fit seamlessly and match your what is being recorded.

Introduction - Should include title, hosts, guests and brief overview of what will be covered.
Conclusion - A brief recap of what was covered and a ‘thank you for listening” TO THE audience. 
Outline/Storyboard - Outlining is a useful tool in making sure your podcast flows.
