Collaborative Podcasting: a Community Building Approach in the Library

Podcasting isn't new, but during the year of lockdown, adapting to new social norms, and adjusting service models in nearly every industry, the number of new podcasts has exploded to fill a demand for digital connection. Using our secondary school podcast Conversations from the Library as a model, we explore how the audio tool can be one method for digital service to patrons and encourage multi-disciplinary collarborations. Learn the basics of technical start-up, audio production, and vision development to have a baseline for getting a library podcast off the ground.
