What is the New York Times Student Podcast Contest?
The NYT Student Podcast Challenge was started in 2018 and this is the 4th year the challenge has been running. The challenge aims to uplift and offer a platform to the younger generation of upcoming podcasters/audio influencers from the US, UK and international and over 645 students submitted their podcasts.
The popularity of podcasting has grown exponentially within the last year particularly due to the pandemic and the production/creation via smartphone voice recorders like Talk Sync or Anchor. There is now a ton of free audio editing software, has gotten easier than ever.
If you’re starting out, we have free guides that talk you through planning, structure and editing.
