Podcasts

Led by students

When the Reynolds Center first began producing podcast episodes, it was entirely hosted and produced by staff members. However, as a part of the Center’s brand refresh in 2021, when the mission of the Center was shifted to place more emphasis on students’ voices and interests, the way podcasts were created also needed to be refreshed.

Since then, the We Mean Business podcast series, along with its various editions, has been created by students at ASU’s Cronkite School. Students work directly with Center staff to pitch, produce, and edit podcast episodes on the business topics they find most salient. This provides students with hands-on experience choosing topics, reaching out to prospective guests, and using advanced audio editing software – while still having experienced editors available to ask questions and guide them in the learning process.
