Mr. Harold Stephan shares that a group of 14 Stuyvesant students interested in podcasting joined Music Department faculty member Harold Stephan on an all-day field trip to SPOTIFY's offices at 4 World Trade Center. Students learned all facets of how to create a successful podcast, including what makes a good story, how to record dialogue, how to create and add music to help convey the story's message, how to create compelling artwork, and finally how to use SoundTrap and SPOTIFY's Podcasting App to publish the final product on the SPOTIFY platform. Breakout sessions included presentations from professional podcasters and media celebrities, and students could choose which sessions they wanted to attend. (photos courtesy of Mr. Stephan)
