All across campus, Purdue students are making tangible works that are creative and innovative. From the process of making, there is always a good story to tell. Telling other people where ideas originated, the pitfalls and successes, and finally, the moment of creation, gives them context and connection to what you have made. Telling your story through the podcast medium, otherwise known as a narrative podcast, allows your story to be shared across a wide range of audiences.
The Purdue University Libraries and School of Information Studies has partnered with the Brian Lamb School of Communication to host the podcast series, MakeYourStory. Throughout the 2021-2022 academic year, MakeYourStory, will be posting episodes on the elements that go into creating engaging stories of making. Episodes include the elements of a narrative podcast, interview tips, how to effectively include sound effects and other types of audio, how to do research to support the success of your podcast, and finally, marketing your podcast. Join us in learning the process of creating a narrative podcast and then share your stories of making!

In this story of Making, undergraduates River Allison and Erica Long talk with us about the popular Purdue Sewing and Design Club. With up to 20-30 students regularly registering to attend the bi-weekly meetings, and over 100 GroupMe members, clearly students across campus want to learn to sew. River, Erica, and Tate Walsh (who couldn’t make the interview) have built something special for Purdue students. They offer a safe and inclusive environment where anyone can learn the basics of sewing, and with guidance, complete full garments. In this episode, they give examples of what students have made, what makes the organization unique, and talk about the possibly of a fashion show next academic year.
