Learn how traditional journalism skills translate to podcasting.
It can feel like everybody alive has a podcast these days. But as a journalist, should you? And if so, how different is podcasting from the reporting and storytelling skills you already have? In this introductory seminar, journalist and podcast host Jess McHugh will walk through how traditional journalism skills translate to podcasting. A print journalist by training, Jess co-hosted the hit investigative podcast Deep Cover: The Truth About Sarah, bringing narrative reporting to a wide audio audience. Drawing on that experience, she’ll explore how familiar tools—interviewing, structuring scenes, writing narration, and shaping character-driven stories—work in audio, and where the medium requires a different approach. We’ll also talk through the practical questions journalists often have: What kinds of podcasts exist, and which formats suit different kinds of reporting? When does it make sense to pitch yourself as a podcast contributor versus starting your own? And what does strong audio storytelling actually sound like?
