The University Writing Center is showcasing a new podcast called “Write Away” that adds another tool through which instructors can get information and inspiration for teaching writing.

“Hearing other instructors’ experiences can be invaluable for brainstorming new teaching techniques,” said Executive Director Valerie Balester. “Podcasts are the perfect way to share those anecdotes.”

 

Write Away is produced by Mandy Crawford, a communications media intern at the UWC and a junior telecommunications media studies major.

“Producing Write Away is great for me not only for the experience in audio production, but to have the opportunity to get to know some of Texas A&M’s best faculty,” Crawford said. “And I love that the writing center’s mission is something I really believe in.”

Episodes include interviews with UWC staff and with faculty in several disciplines. Crawford also is developing a series of episodes that will address topics such as grammar, punctuation and other mechanics; those episodes will be geared toward student listeners.

Access to Write Away is available online at www.writingcenter.tamu.edu/podcasts.
