Podcasting at the DH Center
The DH Center offers podcasting services and spaces to meet to the diverse needs of podcasting for the SDSU community. Our studios, equipment, and support are available to all SDSU students, staff, and faculty.
The DH Center staff are available for instruction, consultations, and troubleshooting.
About our Podcasting Studios
Our professional-grade podcasting studios are designed for solo and group assignments, ongoing podcasts, voiceovers, and professional recordings. Each studio can accommodate four (4) people in the room, as well as virtual guests joining via Bluetooth or Zoom. We have an additional studio for large groups that can accommodate up to eight (8) people using a Blue Yeti USB microphone.
For Your Appointment
You'll need sufficient storage on the hard drive of your computer (approximately 1 GB per hour of recording). Otherwise, bring an external drive large enough to save the project file.
Make sure to arrive on time. You will not be allowed into the studio until all members of your party have arrived. Due to the volume of bookings, your studio appointment will end at the time you originally requested.
Digital Humanities Center staff will set up the equipment for each guest; all you have to do is record!

Resources from past podcasting workshops and institutes such as slides, tipsheets, tutorials and documents are available.
