Abstract

This article is a direct result of the authors’ experiences creating a podcast called To The Letter that seeks to engage audiences with archival materials in a unique way. It discusses the goals behind the creation of the podcast, the selection of appropriate content, as well as the logistics of finding collaborators and marketing outlets. Podcasting has grown in popularity in recent years, but little has been studied about the intersection of this popular medium with historical and educational resources. The authors address what worked well, challenges faced, necessary pivots in direction, and subsequent lessons learned throughout the process.
