Learn how to create, produce and launch your own podcast in this beginner-friendly podcasting course in Sydney, delivered face-to-face at our Rozelle campus. Across six practical sessions (3 hours each), you’ll explore the complete podcasting workflow—from shaping a strong concept and format through to recording clean audio, editing in a DAW, preparing files for distribution, and building a simple promotion strategy.

This course is designed for complete beginners and focuses on practical skills, creative confidence and sustainable workflows, so you can avoid “podfading” and consistently produce content that connects with listeners. You’ll finish with a clear, step-by-step game plan to create and launch your own podcast, whether you’re recording interviews, sharing stories, building a community, or supporting a business or personal brand.

You’ll gain hands-on experience using tools such as DaVinci Resolve (Fairlight), Audacity or Adobe Audition, while learning core audio principles that transfer across platforms.
