  • Technical skills: Learn about FCC guidelines, on-air protocols, and using broadcast equipment in a full studio setting.

Learn the ins and outs of creating, editing, and promoting a podcast. Participants will gain hands-on experience with recording equipment, editing software, and how to develop engaging content.

  • Technical skills: Basic knowledge about audio engineering, equipment setup, RSS feeds, web hosting, podcast networks and distribution.
  • Industry knowledge: Insights into the music and podcasting industries, the impact and power of podcasting, and the role of cultural influence in non-legacy media.

Develop Your Voice with YEAH!

YEAH! traces its roots to 2003, when Middle Tennessee State University student Kelley Anderson organized and kicked off the first Southern Girls Rock Camp - the second-ever female only Rock Camp in the world - as a joint project between the feminist student organization Women for Women and the June Anderson Women's Center. Anderson was inspired by her experience volunteering at the girls rock camp program in Portland, Oregon and envisioned a more egalitarian music community in Tennessee.
