Podcasting is a great activity to share with kids. It's fun to interview, tell stories, let your imaginations run wild. The tools you need are probably (definitely) already in your home. Podcasting is also a great way to engage with technology and media in a way that doesn't add brainless screen time! Join our team of podcast pros who also parent as they walk you through creating a podcast. This workshop is meant for adults and kids to learn and create together. So attendance is limited to children who bring an adult with them, and adults who come with a child (same rules as legoland). Children should be a minimum of 7 years old. Spaces are very limited and require advanced reservation, here is the RSVP link: https://www.podfestberlin.com/event-details/podcasting-with-kids-workshop Please bring whatever equipment you have to work with: If you have a microphone or headset or other equipment you use to record audio, great! Could be a laptop, tablet, voice recorder or just a smartphone. We will have a few microphones and devices available to use as well. The workshop will be multilingual, English and German, beginning with a few introductory lessons being done in simple English.

Do you love podcasting but spend more time on post-production than recording? Chapter markers, episode descriptions, titles, SEO – it all adds up.

Whether you are an established podcaster or just getting started, this session will give you practical insights, creative inspiration, and a first look at Riverside’s new tools for German creators. Presented in collaboration with Riverside.

Neutrinowatch presents a performance of their upcoming episode “The Garden”. In this looping, meditative piece, our narrator visits their garden every day, commenting on his growing plants. When the plants mature, he collects their seeds; when needing more seeds, he visits his neighbors. Sometimes, a plant dies; less often, a neighbour dies. The location is based on the neighborhood Neutrinowatch co-creator Jeff Emtman lived in when he was 19, and has personal significance to him. The piece is about living an alternate version of your life, one that’s focused only on the goings-on of your garden, your mailbox, and your neighborhood. For this live performance, Jeff will perform the role of The Narrator, reading scripts created by the procedural plant-and-neighbor growing algorithm co-developed by Emtman and his collaborator, Martin Austwick. Austwick will create live music which responds to the weather, mood, growth and death happening in The Garden. Neutrinowatch is a procedural podcast created by Emtman and Austwick. Every episode regenerates itself and changes every day. The podcast is created from a set of monologues, dialogues, audio elements and construction rules written by the show’s creators - it does not use Generative AI or LLMs to create its scripts. Jeff Emtman (jeffemtman.com) is an audio artist based in Berlin. Martin Austwick (martinaustwick.com) is a musician and audio producer based in Vancouver, Canada. They created Neutrinowatch (neutrino.watch) in 2021.
