Located in the former Edit 3 room of the SMS, the podcasting studio is set up for users to record audio through a digital mixer to an SD card or simultaneously to a computer. Still under development, the room will be open for reservations by the start of fall 2022 semester. In the meantime, interested users may inquire with SMS staff for more information or for opportunities to try out the equipment.
