A very interesting event took place this weekend at Boston University: The Podcast Academy.
If you didn’t know or couldn’t make it, I’ve got good news for you: most of the sessions are already available — for free, but on a kind of sluggish server at the time of this writing — as podcasts or video podcasts with their corresponding slides.
Here’s your syllabus including the most relevant sessions to higher ed podcasters:
