Description |
The One Market podcast was launched in March 2020 as a way to help keep the Laurier Brantford community connected as we worked, learned, and taught remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the course of one year, it aired 35 episodes featuring 111 guests, 43 of whom were students or alumni, 37 were staff, and 31 were faculty or librarians. The podcast featured a special episode focused on Homecoming, produced with Development & Alumni Relations, as well as a series of special episodes featuring segments produced by fourth-year capstone students in the Digital Media and Journalism program. Between 2020 and 2021, the podcast was downloaded more than 3,200 times by about 1,700 unique listeners. It received a Minister’s Award of Excellence from the Ontario Ministry of College and Universities in October 2020, one of 39 recipients selected from more than 260 submissions in the areas of digital transformation and community impact for its work in keeping the Laurier Brantford community connected.
