This guide was made to help students in the Media Literacy course through the process of creating their podcast assignment.

The goals for this podcast are:

• To highlight a person or people with marginalized gender identity in media in a way that hasn’t been previously done
• To use the potential reach of a podcast to shed light on how media have historically stereotyped gender marginalized people and to make your audience more media literate
• To figure out who the audience of your podcast would be and how best to reach them with the product you produce
• To use the power of sound to entertain and to inform
   

The purposes of this assignment are:

• To identify “found” audio materials and use them thoughtfully and creatively 
• To learn how audio editing can alter the meanings of media messages
• To work collaboratively in a group
• The tasks for this assignment are:
• To identify relevant materials for your podcast
