A group of seniors is eager to learn all the aspects of making a podcast about aging and health, with the city of Vancouver providing some of the funding this year to the 411 Seniors Centre Society.
VANCOUVER -- Podcasting seemed like a frightening technological venture for Sylvie Anderson before she "gave it a whirl" with a group trying to stay connected during the pandemic through shared stories.
One participant is planning to interview centenarians and has lined up a chat with a 100-year-old woman who is still a choir director at her church, Ferrell says, adding the podcasts will be available on nine platforms. Some of the latest recruits to podcasting weren't too tech savvy but those with some experience have taught others to use various online sites like Facebook and Zoom so they can stay connected while remaining apart from each other as well as friends and family, Ferrell says.
Hearing her voice was the toughest part for Anderson when she went into the recording studio in February. Emily Hsu started some educational sessions on podcasting at the 411 Seniors Centre at the same time that Anderson joined in but was already an avid fan of podcasts, especially those involving health.
