Podcasting with teens

Radiofaces groups reading through script in teen lounge Our teen podcasting group, the Radiofaces, has been re-constituted from a few years ago, and now meets weekly or bi-weekly, depending on the high school drama department schedule, all school year. Lately we have enjoyed reading short folk tales adapted by Aaron Shepard , in his excellent book, Folktales on Stage: Scripts for Reader's Theater . Set-up for podcasting The teens are making these their own by adopting kind of crazy accents and affectations that they find goofy. The only reservation I have for this is that the result has to be intelligible! What do we use for recording? Why, the Blue Yeti multi-directional mic, of course! This powerhouse of a mic can be adjusted to mono-directional, bi-directional, and omnidirectional. We use it plugged into one of our Mac laptops running Garageband . This makes it super easy to edit, add opening and closing music, save to iTunes and send it off to our podcasting...

Podcasting to spread the Makerspace gospel...!

We have a podcast blog for which we have highlighted the Makerspace initiative this week: http://difflepresents.blogspot.com Please subscribe to us on your Feedly or whatever Readers you use.... If you download podcasts from itunes, you can find us as a subscription podcast in their catalog. Search either Duxbury Free Library or Difflepresents. We've got 4 podcasts in the itunes catalog but plan to increase that number substantially in the weeks to come. There is SO much going on these days. Many initiatives to discuss and lots of people to interview and gain wisdom from!
