Auburn University Theatre: The America Play Podcast
Auburn University’s Office of Communications and Marketing provided a nice write-up in the Auburn Daily for a new podcast I’m producing.
Auburn University Theatre premieres The America Play Podcast
Auburn University Theatre has announced the premiere of The America Play Podcast. The podcast is a weekly audio program featuring interviews with the faculty, students and professionals who make up the cast and production staff of Suzan-Lori Parks’ “The America Play,” which runs April 1-5 on the main stage of the Telfair B. Peet Theatre. The premiere podcast offers a short overview of the play along with suggestions for actors who may be interested in attending auditions today from 6:30-10:30 p.m. The podcast can be found on the Auburn University Theatre’s Web site.
I am working as the sound designer for The America Play, but the idea for the podcast was the director’s, Dr. Heather May. The second episode is completed and features an interview with the student serving as stage manager, Fred C. Paul. In all, I expect we will have 11 episodes total.
Northwestern Alumni Association: ‘Cat Tracks
The Northwestern Alumni Association has launched a spiffy new website, and with it a new podcast series. For most of the summer, we’ve been interviewing alumni, asking them for their memories of Northwestern. We will publish those memories as ‘Cat Tracks. The first is from Bob & Kaye Hiatt. They were a delight to interview and their story is completely charming.
IU Kelley School of Business Graduate Career Services Presents The Kelley Experience
IU Kelley School of Business Graduate Career Services Presents The Kelley Experience: Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadOne of the final projects I worked on before leaving Bloomington, Indiana was a podcast series for the IU Kelley School of Business Graduate Career Services. Gerry Bayne and I sat down with Erik Medina and three students to talk about day to day life as a Kelley MBA. It was a real learning experience for me and in retrospect, I think I would have approached some of the production issues differently, but it was also one of the most enjoyable experiences I had in my time in Bloomington. The enthusiasm of the students was really infectious and really imbues the series with a sense of excitement and possibility.
The other three episodes are available through the Kelley School of Business MBA Program Podcasts Page.
The WTTS World Class Rock Report
With this morning’s publication of the second podcast and the first feature for week three loaded to the stream, I’m happy to announce WTTS World Class Rock Report is officially launched.
The EDUCAUSE Podcasts
In the spring, my co-producer for the Indiana University Mini University Podcast, Gerry Bayne, joined the higher-education IT advocacy organization EDUCAUSE. His title is multimedia producer, which in this case translates to podcasting guru.
In the weeks following the EDUCAUSE 2007 Annual Conference, he was responsible for publishing dozens of podcasts drawn from the conference sessions. I provided another set of hands (and ears) making hours and hours of great content sound its best for publication. I found this session particularly interesting.
E07 Podcast: In Plain English, Please: Effective IT Communications
This 45-minute podcast recorded during the EDUCAUSE 2007 Annual Conference features Mur Muchane, Executive Director of Information Technology Services, Davidson College and Lisa Trubitt, Assistant to the CIO for Policy & Communications, University at Albany, SUNY. Their session was titled “In Plain English, Please: Effective IT Communications.”
All of the EDUCAUSE podcasts I’ve published can be found here.
Northwestern Alumni Association Podcast: The Future of Cancer Research
Dr. Steven Rosen talks about current incidence rates, prevention strategies, detection recommendations, and treatment approaches to cancer — and Northwestern’s leadership role in the fight against this serious disease. Rosen also covers clinical issues related to his laboratory research, focusing on experimental therapeutics and cancers affecting the blood, bone marrow, and lymph nodes.
I think this is one of the best examples to date of repurposing Northwestern audio. Dr. Rosen’s comments were drawn from Cancer’s Incidence, Prevention, Early Detection, and Modern Therapy, his presentation during A Day with Northwestern in 2007. There was a lot of good information in the presentation as a whole, but much of it referenced his visual materials and its impact was lessened when those visuals were removed. The twelve-minutes or so of audio I used in the podcast placed the emphasis on Northwestern’s role in advancing cutting-edge research.
The podcast was so well received that the Office of Development at the Feinberg School of Medicine gave it its own page on their website in addition to its page on the Northwestern Alumni Association web site.
