Since podcasts are becoming an increasingly popular content medium, we hope to capitalize on this by creating a podcast for the Canada Black Music Archives (CBMA). In this project, students will collaborate with us to create podcasts to highlight the artists and archival content featured in the CBMA.

We would like students to assist with developing a series of CBMA podcasts which will may include some of the following:

• Collaborating with the project manager to identify the topic/theme for each episode.
• Script various components of each podcast episode such as the introduction, welcome, call to action, and outro.
• Create cover art for the podcast.
• Research and plan what will be discussed on an episode-by-episode basis.
• Record and edit each episode.
• Facilitating special guest appearances in one or more episodes.

By the end of the project, the students should have completed some of the following list of activities:

• Identified a subject or theme for each episode.
• Scripted the introduction, welcome, call to action, and outro.
• Researched and planned what will be discussed on an episode-by-episode basis.
• Recorded and edited each episode.
• Facilitated special guest appearances in one or more episodes.

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

• What topics and artists do we hope to cover?
• Are other staff or volunteers available to contribute to the project?
• How will we keep customers interested in listening to our podcast?
• Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
