Learn How To Create A Sports Podcast & Sports Broadcasting In 90 Minutes!

This course will examine the wide range of career opportunities in sports broadcasting and sports podcasting. Our 90 minute class will also look at the process for writing a podcast, sports topics, and creating a sports broadcast/podcast. We will also examine how to become an excellent sports broadcaster (either color commentary or play-by-play). The majority of my professional career has been as a history and English educator. However, I have coached speech and debate as well as working in the sports broadcasting business. I played two years of college baseball, and excited to bring my experiences into the classroom where students will have the opportunity to develop a hands on project of creating their own podcast and practicing sports broadcasting. I am also a published sports podcaster.
