Podcast Academy: How We Did It!

UPDATE: you can now support the growth and sustainability of the Latitude Adjustment Podcast Academy by contributing to our GoFundMe campaign. Help to elevate the voices of displaced peoples by making them podcast producers!

Before you hear the episodes from the very first graduating class of the Latitude Adjustment Podcast Academy, we’d like to take you behind the scenes to share some of the challenges and the lessons learned during the production of our shows with asylum seekers here on the Greek Island of Lesvos. The story behind the stories will provide you with a lot of helpful context for the episodes created by our students over the course of our 5-week program.

And if you’d like an update on all that has happened on Lesvos over the past year, and more information about why we decided to start the academy here, then be sure to start with this episode.

Welcome to the Latitude Adjustment Podcast Academy and to the first class of what we hope will be many more! And a special thanks to ReFocus Media Labs for connecting us to their students and for their support and guidance throughout the academy.
