Season Four, Part Two Trailer

Catalyst: A Creative Industries Podcast

Catalyst Season Four, Part two sees Ryan Haley, taking over host duties. Ryan, currently the co-host of three independent podcasts, and producer of an additional two, has also written and taught several podcasting workshops with his podcasting partner, and Chapman University Alum, Mike Gravagno. He is also teaches CCI 304 for the CCI Minor Program, through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at Chapman University. In this season four, part two trailer he gives us a little background on what Catalyst is up two this season. While the focus of this podcast has always been to give listeners a chance to learn about the Creative and Cultural Industries, season four is putting this task in the hands of Chapman University students.

All of the hosts and interviewers you’ll hear from for the rest of this season are Chapman students who have completed the Podcasting class, which is just one of the topics offered through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries course: 304-Creative and Cultural Industries in Practice. In class, Ryan focuses on the relationship between theory and practice, meaning that after discussions focused on the importance of podcasts in modern media, his students go out and create their own podcast segments. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability were able to contribute to Chapman’s Catalyst podcast, with the goal being that they will take this ‘hands-on’ experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series.

So stay tuned to hear what our remarkable students have been up to, as we launch the conclusion to season four!
