Description
Summary:This article draws on the authors' experience of introducing a student-led legal podcast in their law school in September 2017 to explore creative podcasting's potential as a tool of legal knowledge and skills development. Drawing on the authors' observations as the coordinators of the podcast, as well as a survey conducted amongst student participants, it considers the value of creative podcasting as a means of enhancing legal knowledge, aiding skills development, and fostering a feeling of collaboration and community. The article also reflects on the practical challenges associated with running a project of this type outside the school's curriculum, focusing particularly on the challenge of encouraging student buy-in.
