Welcome to Design Talk.

I am Jennifer Keenahan and I am delighted to be joined by Allen Higgins from the UCD College of Business to talk about shaping and delivering a podcast.

Today I have turned the tables on Allen. Usually, he’s behind the scenes directing the show. Today I want him to share what goes into planning and producing an episode.

To start, Allen could you tell us a little about your background and how you came to bring podcasting into your teaching practice.

Q: Let’s start with your teaching pod, Design Talk. You had this idea that you wanted to make a podcast, how did you start? 

Q: So, let’s say I have an idea that I want to make a podcast. How do I start? 

Q: What kinds of pods are there; how do you choose one? 

Q: Let’s talk a bit more about format. 

Q: How do you organise or structure your own pod? 

Q: What is the key to a strong interview? 

Q: So, sticking with interviews, how do you prepare?

Q: Questions from the audience?

Q: Is there anything you’d like add?
