Building on the skills from CMST 150, this course lets students take the lead in producing an instructor-approved podcast series about arts and culture. From planning and interviewing to editing and design, students will manage all aspects of production. Some will serve as editors, helping guide content and ensure each episode is polished. The course encourages students to explore how stories about art and culture shape and reflect society, while developing critical thinking and creative skills. With guidance from mentors, students will create a portfolio of podcast episodes that contribute to thoughtful conversations about art, culture, and the human experience. This class may include students from multiple sections. (Elective)
