Planning, Completing and Editing Podcasts
Leonard Cheshire produces a podcast called 'The Disability Download'. I was given the opportunity to co-ordinate and create 2 episodes. This included talking with guests, devising questions, conducting the interview, an initial edit, and a social media plan.
​
The first episode I did featured a disabled, queer author from New York. We discussed their debut novel and other written work, as well as chronic illness in academia. It was a hugely positive experience, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with them.
​
The second episode was about autism, gender and how that changes the university experience. This was passed onto me as the original colleague who was covering it felt that a queer, disabled voice was better suited to represent the organisation in this context. It was a fun and friendly conversation, which required a lot of editing, as we had too much fun and spoke at length. This is due for release in 2022.
This was preceded by and released within a Twitter campaign.
