Red Studio Podcast
  Make Your Own Podcast!

After listening to the Red Studio podcast, we invite you to create your own podcast for your next visit to MoMA.

1. Find out what’s on view at MoMA.

We encourage you to visit the Museum before recording a podcast in order to become familiar with the collection and location.

To see images of works in MoMA’s collection online, search the Online Collection. Check the "works that are on view" option to select works that are currently on display at the Museum (please note that this list is subject to change). Make a list of artworks you would like to include on your podcast and download printable images from the site.

2. Plan out what your podcast will be about.

After you've researched the artworks you would like to address, think about what you want your podcast to convey. Some factors to consider include:

  • Writing: A good podcast may sound like an informal and spontaneous conversation, but most are written and edited. A script also acts as a helpful reminder of what to say when you are recording.
  • Music and Sound Effects: Audio is a great medium to tell stories. Using music and sound effects can help set a mood, signal a transition, or introduce a new character. Listen to radio programs and pay attention to how sounds are used to support the story.
  • Other teen podcasts: Check out other museums’ teen podcasts online, including Raw Canvas Artlookers at Tate Modern, and MuseRadio, created by the Bronx Museum of the Arts’ Teen Council.

Here are some other suggestions to get you started:

Write and record your thoughts about your favorite artist or work of art.
Record a poem you wrote about a work of art.
Record a commentary on a quote by your favorite artist.
Record a dramatic interpretation of a work of art.
Record an original piece of music related to a work of art.
Create a soundtrack for your favorite works of art, or create your own music for it.
Most importantly, be creative and have fun!

3. Record your own podcast and download it to your MP3 player.

Recording audio is getting easier, thanks to portable recorders and MP3 devices. New software (some of it free) allows you to edit the sound on a computer and compress it to MP3 format.

4. Come to MoMA and listen to your podcast using your MP3 player. Bring your friends and have them listen too!

5. If you would like to share your podcast with MoMA, e-mail us at audio@moma.org.
MoMA will review submissions but reserves the right not to post them. Please remember that your podcast must not contain sound recordings or other materials created by others (i.e. copyrighted materials).
