Podcasts by Beds Blab - an experiment in amateur podcasting in Bedfordshire
This podcast features interviews and discussions with people living and working in the UK county of Bedfordshire. What quiet, humble but amazing achievements and contributions are the people of Bedfordshire making to this world? Over the course of this series I hope to find out. This podcast is produced by an amateur who is on a steep learning curve to improve. I currently work as a tutor in a small learning centre for teenagers and I am hoping to get the learners involved in all aspects of the podcast process, from using recording equipment to interviewing guests and editing audio files. Along the way we will all have the opportunity to meet new people and learn more about our community.There is a change in style from Episode 7 onwards - much more learner involvement, a range of short fun features, as well as the usual main interview feature. If you have any feedback or comments, or if you wish to contribute to the podcast or even be featured in a future episode, please email: bedsblab@gmail.com or visit our Facebook page. Thank you!
