Olympic Games podcast workshop

On March 1, 8 and 15, 2024

The Service de l'évènementiel et de l'action culturelle offered three workshop sessions to produce a podcast on the theme of sport and the Olympic Games. Led by Léo Berthe, author and producer of podcasts, these sessions enabled students to learn about sound recording, writing and recording a sound capsule.

The project revolves around the writing and recording of a sound capsule of around 5 minutes per group that deals with the Olympic Games. This is a free format, but with a few guidelines (a chronicle on the Olympics, a micro-trottoir, a word from the Olympics in a foreign language analyzed, a sports moment recounted, etc.). The whole is edited and mixed by the speaker. The capsules are then uploaded to the Ausha platform (this year's capsules available soon).
