Workshops for Aspiring Podcasters

Tue, 06/27/2023 - 15:22

Ahead of a new podcasting workshop series at LTV Studios, a free introductory session will take place on July 12 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. to introduce people to the basics of this popular type of media. The instructor is Tony Dec, an industry veteran who was the founding co-director of Stony Brook Southampton's Podcast Fellows program and its lead instructor until 2022. An email can be sent to [email protected] to sign up.

The full workshops are "designed to help you tell your stories on an exciting medium that's growing day-to-day," according to an announcement. They are divided into a three-week beginner session starting July 19 and a four-week advanced session starting Aug. 9. The beginner session costs $120 and covers topics like developing ideas into viable concepts, essentials of recording and interviewing, and storytelling "for the ear." The advanced session costs $160, covering editing and mixing sound, adding video, developing a brand, and distribution and marketing.

For the beginner session, participants should have their own iPhone or Android smartphone with a voice-memo recording app and wired over-the-ear headphones. For the advanced session, a laptop and hidenburg.com editing program for Mac or PC, installed ahead of the first class, are required in addition to the voice-memo recording app and headphones.

Registration is online at bit.ly/440XWft or by sending the text message "LTVPODCAST" to 41444.

The Sweet Smell of Nostalgia at Sagaponack General

Stepping into the new Sagaponack General Store, which reopened yesterday after being closed since 2020, is a sweet experience, and not just because there’s a soft-serve ice cream station on the left and what promises to be the biggest penny candy selection on the South Fork on your right, but because it’s like seeing an old friend who, after some struggle, made it big. Really, really big.
