Students in a Family Relationships course created a podcast episode drawing on three interviews with older adults. After self-reflections on interviewing and technology strengths, student pairs were formed to combine strong interviewing with practical technology skills. Using Zoom, they asked family-relationship questions, determined podcast themes after the first interview, and developed follow-up questions across the next two sessions. Students also recorded hosted dialogue, introduced segments, and linked topics to course concepts; the final semester product was shared in class. Learners valued creativity and agency but reported occasional technology barriers.
