Adults, Learning

In 2007 I launched the Idealist podcast with a team of colleagues.

My goal was to introduce to the broader Idealist comunity the amazing leaders that I was privileged to know through working at a national nonprofit. My first show was a series of interviews about careers; later shows focused on civic life and grad school admissions as well.

Developing the podcast required:

• Conceiving of a show’s theme and guests
• Researching guests and their field
• Scheduling and recording interviews
• Editing audio (I used Garageband)
• Uploading to Libsyn (which contributed shows to our iTunes stream)

I was lucky to work with talented interns who’ve supported the show through their research, transcription, audio editing, and other assistance.

Here is a sampling of episodes I recorded and produced:

• Emerging Corps: Blue Engine’s Nick Ehrmann
• A Pride Month Interview – Lesbian and Gay Perspectives in AmeriCorps and Peace Corps
• Peace Corps in China: An Interview with Country Director Bonnie Thie
• Idealist Grad School Podcasts
