A schools, colleges podcast, produced well.

Learning content travels well in audio: it can be heard on the way to class, in the car or during a walk. A podcast extends a course beyond the classroom.

Why education start a podcast

Teachers and course leaders already explain ideas for a living. A podcast captures that skill in a form students can revisit.

What the show can cover

Formats that work for this sector:

  • Revision episodes that revisit a week’s topic in plain words.
  • Interviews with practitioners in the subject.
  • Orientation content for new students and parents.
  • Student-led shows with teacher supervision.

What to settle before you record

In education the audience is often under the age of consent, so plan permissions, privacy and moderation first. A school show also needs a steady rhythm tied to the term calendar.

  • Permissions for student voices and who holds them.
  • A term-based schedule with batch recording before exams.
  • Accessibility: transcripts help students who cannot listen.

How radio.app produces it

You record; we make the podcast. For schools, colleges and education providers that means cleaning and levelling every voice, building the intro and sound identity, editing to a script or notes, and delivering finished episodes to one loudness standard. The production process shows each step, and the plans show the starting points.

Questions

Questions, answered.

Can students be hosts?

Yes, with the school’s permissions and supervision. We edit the recordings to the same standard whether the host is a teacher or a student.

What do we need to send?

The original recordings, one file per person if possible, and short notes on names, terms and anything to cut. The [recording checklist](/podcast-production/how-to-record-a-podcast-remotely) explains how to capture clean audio.
