CMU Psychology faculty emeriti Dr. James Carroll, along with his friend and former CMU English faculty Ralph Baber, had already recorded more than 240 episodes for their ‘Psychology Takeaway’ podcast when they discovered the new CIS Podcast Studio in Park Library. They had previously used a built-in laptop mic to record their episodes, but the CIS Podcast Studio enabled them to record and playback a custom musical intro and easily adjust levels from the broadcast quality microphones.
After attending a Podcast Studio workshop hosted by CIS Media staff, they booked the studio a few days later and haven’t looked back. Now, most Friday mornings, you’ll find the duo in the Podcast Studio recording, uploading, and publishing their practical and informative podcast for their growing online audience. CIS learning media staff members Alex Mikus and Jacob Tensen have been essential in supporting their efforts, answering questions, and providing guidance along the way.
Below are example episodes, one recorded before using the CIS Podcast Studio and one after.
BEFORE the CIS Podcast Studio (note the muddled audio)

AFTER the CIS Podcast Studio
