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. 

Course Topics and Activities:

The 90 minute class will explore and use a hands on experience for students to create their own sports broadcast, sports play-by-play, and/or sports podcast. We will also learn the technology to publish a sports podcast.
