The course is targeted for people with interest towards podcasting, mainly sound-only podcasting. We do not touch upon the aspects of video production or marketing and promotion of the podcasts. In the course technical aspects of sound recording, as well as subjects of podcast content are discussed. In the course the author shares tips and tricks based on her own experience as a presenter and podcaster. All brand names mentioned in the course are mentioned because of the author’s positive experience with those, rather than on the advertising basis.
