Starting a Science Communication Podcast - Looking for Co-Hosts
8th Grade Biology teacher in Florida (central time zone) here.
During the Summer I always enjoy learning something new and keeping myself busy. This year I am branching out into Podcasting.
My reason? I just got the green-light from my principal to start up a broadcasting and podcasting club for next year!
It's something I am interested in and think it would bring some more community to the school.
I am going to allow the students to run the whole thing: doing interviews, talking about school related stuff and presenting audio dramas.
So, for the next few months, I want to be ready and familiar behind the mic.
I am looking to create a Science Podcast, called Science Decoded, where I take click-bait titles from social media, review the paper that they are based on, talk about the actual science behind it and translate it into a realistic picture that the public could understand.
I could definitely do this myself, but 1 person podcasts can become stale real quick.
So, I am looking for about 2-4 like minded folk who would be interested in this venture.
It might be a total flop, it might take off, or it might just be a great way to fill the Summer and learn some new things!
Ideally, it would be a once a week, 30 mins episode, where we introduce the click-bait title and paper, talk about the actual science involved, and then tear apart the article and tell the listeners exactly what it means in real life.
If you think you might be interested in something like this, reach out.
TL;DR: Looking for 2–4 science-minded people to help launch a weekly podcast that breaks down clickbait science headlines and explains what the research actually says.
