Description

Join VoiceWaves to learn about the process of producing a podcast. At this workshop, you'll learn about how to make a podcast using tools you may already have, receive feedback on ideas, and try some of these lessons in activities about creating podcasts. Rachel Livinal is a student currently pursuing a degree in journalism at Cal State Long Beach. She has been creating and producing audio stories since 2019, publishing work with We’Ced Youth Media. In the spring of 2020, she created a podcast series called COVID-18, which explored how seniors in Merced dealt with the pandemic. She provided mentorship on a second season that featured stories about youth from across California. Besides being a VoiceWaves member, Rachel has also published work with the local nonprofit CityHeART. VoiceWaves is a Long Beach youth-led journalism and media-training project. The youth, ages 15–25, are learning to report, write, and create digital journalism content. Their stories raise awareness about community health issues and activate change in local neighborhoods.
