Our vision

We are Field Podcasters, trained to go out and collect the stories of extraordinary people doing extraordinary things. People dedicated to helping people.

You are the conductor, these are the instruments and the symphony is the visual image you co-create with your listeners. An image that will last long after the tape is over.

Field Podcaster Training

The Field Podcaster program is designed to give you the tools, the training and the confidence to grab your mic, step out your door and start recording. You will know what makes “good tape”, how to conduct the interview, edit your program, add sounds and publish your podcast so the world can hear your story.

You have a story to tell and the world needs to hear it!

Why record your work?

When people are emotionally involved with your project they become a part of it. They share empathy with you and the people you are helping. They trust you, they know you are real and they want to help you.

As you will learn in this course, audio doesn’t lie. It is the only media where your listener becomes your partner, creating the images, people and scenes in their minds.

Why is this course effective?

Everything about this course is unique, designed to help you understand the power of audio, how to tell great stories and how to bring the sounds together and capture peoples attention.

It is interactive with both self-guided study and team collaboration. Much of the course is on a private podcast channel so you can listen and learn on your own time. Your time is valuable and we don’t want to waste a minute of it.

Who is this course for?

This course is for people who are serving people and want to capture and share the experience. Whether you’re in a service club, a non-profit, an NGO or an Expat who wants to explore and share the stories in your new home, this course will give you the tools and training to create compelling audio stories.
