Behind the Microphone: Stories Become Audible at the Brandenburg Museum

How does a good podcast come to be? In the multigenerational workshop Behind the Microphone... at the Brandenburg Museum in Potsdam, children, teenagers, and adults develop their own topics, conduct conversations, and collaboratively produce an audio recording. Objects from the museum's collection serve as prompts for personal memories, intriguing questions, and new perspectives on Brandenburg.

From Museum Object to Personal Story

The examination of the artworks gains a special acoustic dimension in this workshop. A collection object becomes the starting point for narratives about childhood, daily life, inventions, and personal favorites. Participants connect cultural education with creative media practice and discover how observation, memory, and conversation lead to the creation of their own podcast.

Making a Podcast: Topics, Interviews, and Recording Techniques

The program includes the development of suitable podcast topics, the preparation and structuring of conversations, and the conducting of interviews and dialogues. Participants also learn to handle microphones and recording technology. The artistic experience in the museum is thereby enhanced with practical media education experience: listening, asking questions, and storytelling become creative tools.

A Workshop for Multiple Generations

The format is aimed at children, teenagers, and adults. Children from eight years old participate alongside an accompanying adult; teenagers from twelve years old can also join without supervision. Since podcasts thrive on exchange, participation is recommended in pairs or more. Several short breaks are part of the schedule; snacks and drinks may be brought along.

Cultural Education with a Personal Voice

Under the leadership of Grit Sujata, media educator, social pedagogue, and parent media advisor in the team of the media workshop Potsdam, the workshop combines museum education, conversation culture, and digital media competence. The exhibition atmosphere becomes a resonating space for personal experiences and shared learning.

Conclusion: Potsdam Museum Experience with a Microphone

Behind the Microphone... opens up direct access to the museum, history, and creative storytelling for families and young media creators. Those who want to develop their own topics, record voices, and transform cultural impressions into a podcast story experience an inspiring artistic experience at the Brandenburg Museum. Participation is free; due to limited spots, prior registration is required.
