For years, Rocket Productions has stuck to the same cycle of all video shows and segments. The journalism teacher, Matt Browning, knew it was time for a change.
Podcast equipment was ordered at the end of last school year, and recently came in for the broadcast class. After a few weeks of waiting, the class is starting to get into the swing of things.
“Mr. Welch got a special grant to be able to pay for the podcast equipment,” Browning said. “Last spring, I went to Clearwater High School and saw their podcast set up and really enjoyed it. With podcasts being the big thing right now, eight to ten minute podcasts are better than long videos.”
The shows that were all video were transformed into podcasts, and the hosts got a new challenge of learning the new setup.
“So now we have four podcasts,” Browning said. “At the Hill, talks to teachers at the high school, The Rockets Sports Updates with Hayden Swope, talks to athletes at the high school, and On the Clock that Dawson McNaul does for national sports. We also do lots of behind the scenes stuff. All podcasts can be found on spotify apple music anywhere you can find podcasts.”
