Podcasts are not a new medium but listening to podcasts is becoming more and more popular, for instance in Education. It is an easy, always accessible way to learn. You can do other tasks while listening to a podcast and a screen is not needed. Creating your own podcasts is also becoming more and more popular. It is easy to create a podcast, it is easy to reach your community and connect with peers.
Podcast equipment has been part of the library services for some time and due to the high demand, a room in the Inner City Library has been dedicated to recording podcasts. This space is now converted into a professional DIY Podcast Studio. The room facilitates recording and editing podcasts for the entire UM community. You can find the room (1.205, route 152) on the first floor next to the DIY Video Studio.
For more information on booking the room, its facilities, manuals, tips & tricks, check the library’s website.
Within the UM community, several podcasts-series have already been produced:
DS Dataminds
SBE
D&I

Dear Sirs,
my name is Georgios IOANNOU (i6303563) and I would like to ask you if it would be possible to get the podcast room after 16 oclock, as I am planning on doing a frequent podcast. The problem is that the podcast room is mostly booked out! Thank you in advance!
Best wishes
Dear Georgios, could you please contact us via Ask your Librarian? https://library.maastrichtuniversity.nl/contact/, your question can then be referred to the right department.
