For several months now, WePod has been organizing workshops in high schools across Europe to teach podcasting to young people. The main objective is for them to learn how to tell stories in audio and to learn as well about all the work involved in making a podcast. In this episode, Javi Caminero is joined by Cathal O’Luanaigh, Program and Communications Manager at News Decoder, WePod’s French Partner, to discuss everything related to these workshops. Listen to Cathal’s recommendation:  Three Castles Burning: https://open.spotify.com/show/4SSvzXXwTHXhbzY4ovlzgf?si=8cce320ff607468a    Follow us on all our socials (@wepodproject) and visit the WePod project website: https://www.wepodproject.eu/welcome  Credits:  Hosted and written by Javi Caminero  Sound design by Manu Tomillo  Coordinator: Alexander Damiano Ricci  Executive producer: Ana Ribera  This project has received funding from CROSS-Sectoral of the Creative Europe Programme. 

November 29th saw the premiere of WePod’s second co-production, which is called ‘Camioneros’ in its Spanish version and ‘Vie de routiers’ in French. This documentary analyzes the importance of the job of truck drivers in Europe, one that, until now, had received very little attention. Javi Caminero is joined by the creators of this podcast, journalists Manu Tomillo and Futura D’Aprile, to talk about all the details of their co-production.  Listen to Manu and Futura’s recommendations:  Sweet Bobby: https://open.spotify.com/show/0pxg9zewLAYxhcmbJ4CL0Q  Elon’s Spies: https://open.spotify.com/show/6edrtr63RobTNRuLvU2sfj   Follow us on all our socials (@wepodproject) and visit the WePod project website: https://www.wepodproject.eu/welcome  Credits:  Hosted and written by Javi Caminero  Sound design by Manu Tomillo  Coordinator: Alexander Damiano Ricci  Executive producer: Ana Ribera  This project has received funding from CROSS-Sectoral of the Creative Europe Programme.
