Gostei bastante do curso, comprei ele porque desenvolvi o projeto de um podcast com meus alunos de Ensino Médio Integra na escola Estadual Clóvis Salgado em São Sebastião do Paraíso - MG, eles gostaram bastante e muito da base veio desse curso.
Recomendo bastante!

Para mim, o mais interessante do curso foi saber do processo de produção do próprio Chico. Fora isso, é um curso bem introdutório e parte das coisas certamente não serão novidade para quem já trabalha com jornalismo.

O curso é voltado para pessoas realmente bem iniciantes e foca muito no passo a passo técnico para fazer um podcast. Não aprofunda na construção narrativa para gerar curiosidade, tensão, humor, etc. Além disso, fala pouco sobre as particularidades de contar uma história em áudio. Muito do que é trazido é aplicável para filmes documentais também. Eu sou roteirista audiovisual e o curso acrescentou pouco para mim.
