A free workshop during which we’ll create an audio piece suitable for podcasting or broadcast on the radio using Open Source software and ubiquitous technology. By the end of the workshop we hope you’ll have the skills to create your own podcasts in the future.

We’ll cover the use of open source software for audio recording and editing and live radio play-out, as well as the use of laptops, smartphones, and digital audio recorders in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. No previous knowledge is necessary…
