Session 3: Student Podcasting
The growing popularity of podcasting has inspired many TCU students to learn how to produce their own creative shows. This panel will discuss how several TCUs have established audio studios and are encouraging students to tell their own stories through podcasts. Panel moderator David McDonald, the Multimedia Production degree program coordinator at Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College, recently led an eight-week podcasting training course with several TCUs that was supported by Spotify.

TCU: Northwest Indian College (Student)
Current: I am a student at Northwest Indian College enrolled in the Native Studies Leadership program. I have prior degrees in Audio Engineering and Electronic music production. My idea was to incorporate this knowledge into my studies at NWIC with the hope to some day utilize music technology for aspiring Indigenous artists. It has long been a dream of mine to open a facility where Native people can come and record their music, songs, stories and language without having to feel they do not belong in that kind of environment. Along with the NWIC music club it turns out we have this shared dream and we are making strides in ensuring that future generations will have this opportunity.
