For voices seeking an outlet.
Ever wondered what it would be like to create your own podcast? It’s surprisingly easy, empowering, and fun, according to Port Townsend School of the Arts officials.
In a special four-week online class, hosted by the organization and run by Kath Tolentino, participants will demystify the world of podcasting.
Organizers said students will learn to record and edit a full episode, how to put it online, and get set up to make more.
The class runs from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays from Oct. 13 to Nov. 5.
Topics to be covered will include: Sound recording and interviewing best practices (recording interviews over Zoom); finding royalty free sounds and music online; writing a script; editing using GarageBand on Macs; and putting the podcast online and making it available in the iTunes Store and Spotify.
The cost to attend is $240, the only prerequisite a proficiency with Mac computers and ideas for podcast topics/themes.

“With podcasting,” officials said, “you get to run the show.”
“You can interview experts on a topic that you care deeply about, or share your own knowledge and expertise,” according to the class announcement. “You can tell stories, or write radio plays, or just shoot the breeze with your friends and capture it on tape.”
Necessary supplies include a Mac computer and GarageBand (which is free to download through the app store) and Zoom (also free to download).
Tolentino is a filmmaker and creator of the podcast, “On Her Terms: Interviews with Women in Film.” She is a former news reporter for KQED Public Radio in San Francisco.
