Podcast Camp
Love listening to your favorite podcasts? Why not learn to make your own! The Pavek Museum Podcast Camp will be returning for Summer 2027.
Students will learn about the evolution of radio shows, which eventually brought us an explosion of podcast popularity. They will learn what makes a podcast different from a radio show, the different types of podcasts, and how to create and produce their own podcast. Each student will create, record, and produce an original podcast episode, which will be posted online and available to download.
Additionally, students will get to tour a professional radio station/podcast studio – iHeartRadio! Students will get a behind the scenes look of what goes into the podcasts they love while also learning about a career in radio and podcasting. Come discover the fun of creating your own podcast at the Pavek Museum!
