Birds Canada is a non-profit, charitable organization built on the enthusiastic contributions of thousands of caring members and volunteer Citizen Scientists. Our mission is to conserve wild birds through sound science, on-the-ground actions, innovative partnerships, public engagement, and science-based advocacy.

Birds Canada produces a monthly podcast since July 2021. The Warblers talks about the faces, challenges, and hopes behind the birds we love; aiming to capture a wide audience ranging from experienced birders to people discovering the wonder of birds for the first time. Two regular hosts and a variety of guests will be featured.

Working with students, we would like to take advantage of the trend and create a season of our own podcast. We would like for students to prepare podcast promos for sponsors and/or help produce episodes.

Students could accomplish the following:

• Edit the recorded audio for final publication.
• Assess sponsor needs.
• Determine the concept for the promo and write the copy.
• Provide recommendations on increasing listenership.
• Source sound files for usage as needed (i.e. bird calls)

You will have a dedicated advisor and mentor meeting with you once a week for the duration of the project.
