Podcasting

Reporting through podcasting was one of the first mediums I explored and grew passionate about as an underclassmen journalist. When the world shut down during the COVID-19 Pandemic, I used my newfound free time to try many different things; a love for making podcasts prevailed among failed experiments in bread making, guitar playing, and Pokémon Go. 

 

My number one passion while quarantining was creating an NFL podcast with a friend in late April 2020. As two then-freshmen who spent our days questioning what COVID-safe professional football would look like, we started recording our conversations as podcasts via Zoom for “NFL 365.” As our marketing on social media grew, so did our creativity. We began interviewing NFL players, coaches, and team-specific reporters, asking the questions we knew were on the minds of football fans around the country. 

​

Three years later, and although NFL 365 had winded down, I am fortunate to be part of a podcasting network covering a wide range of topics through Pantherbook. It has been exciting to see how I have grown and developed into a more articulate speaker, interviewer, and communicator because of podcasting. As the publications editor of Panterbook, I have been able to share this skill with staff members, introducing writers to an alternative form of media aside from print journalism. Multiple lessons and personal meetings with Pantherbook members on podcasting has provided students with a way to diversify their skillset into what has become one of the publication’s most popular forms of media.
