In groups of 4-5, develop a 15-20 minute podcast on a topic related to Grand Central Terminal and/or some of the themes (transit infrastructure or history, neo-classical architecture, commuter culture, landmark preservation, urban ecology, activism, public space, etc.) we’ve explored so far this semester.
Each group will be responsible for the content, format, and technical delivery of the podcast.
Examples of podcast formats include:
- Historical Narratives
- Walking Tours
- Interviews
- Panel Discussions
In addition to creating and editing an audio recording, each group will:
- Strategically incorporate or reference at least two relevant resources.
- Select an image to accompany your podcast with a license that permits reuse.
- Provide basic metadata for your podcast including at least three descriptive keywords.
- Select a Creative Commons license to dictate how your podcast can be used by others.
