World Affairs Podcast Program
Keck Center World Affairs Podcast Program
We are excited to invite pairs of student podcasters to conduct research on a region or a theme in world affairs and develop three podcasts. Students selected for this fellowship will receive $1,000 disbursed in two payments. Under the supervision of Prof. Terril Jones, student teams are expected to post one podcast per month (we instruct how to post to Spotify, but you may post to Apple Podcasts or another public platform). No previous experience in podcasting is required. The Keck Center will also post podcasts on its website. Students must commit to attend group training sessions with Prof. Jones on podcast development on five Friday mornings (10 a.m.). These meetings are crucial and required, and will include at least one “master class” with a veteran podcaster/broadcaster Friday, Sep. 30. First-year students are encouraged to apply. The final podcast is due Thursday December 1, 2022. Please consider if your schedule allows you to attend the training sessions and to meet the deadlines. The first payment will be after teams post the first episode; the second payment after teams complete all three podcasts.
