We’re excited to bring a new Midwest Travel Network to Medora, ND – Podcasting

Podcasting for Travel Storytelling📍 Medora, North Dakota
📅 October 5–7, 2026
🎓 Hosted by Midwest Travel Network
👩‍🏫 Instructor: Sheila Jenkinson (Growing Small Town Nebraska Podcast)

About This Workshop

The Podcast Workshop is a small-group, immersive experience designed for travel content creators who want to strengthen their audio storytelling skills and develop compelling podcast content inspired by a destination.

This three-day workshop blends focused instruction with intentional exploration, allowing participants to plan, record, and develop podcast-ready stories on location. You’ll learn how to capture interviews, structure episodes, and build long-form audio content that continues to promote destinations well beyond the workshop.

This is not a traditional press trip. It’s a hands-on learning experience where podcast strategy, recording, and destination storytelling happen side by side.

What You’ll Experience

• Guided instruction focused on travel podcasting and audio storytelling
• Hands-on recording opportunities in real destination settings
• Interview practice with local voices and experiences
• Episode planning and story development support
• Time to capture audio and develop podcast-ready content
• Small-group collaboration and feedback
• Meaningful connection with fellow creators
