VidPOD Profile: Central High School’s New Podcast Tool

The video program at Central High School in Phenix City Alabama is headed into its 10^th year. Tim Loreman has lead the program to national recognition during his 9 year tenure at the helm of the ship. Central Phenix is know for its professional quality broadcasts and Loreman’s continued involvement in helping other video production programs around the southeast.  

Recently, the team at Red Devil Television received their VidPOD from Amitrace and literally hit the ground running. Within hours of delivery, they were producing their first show – an hour long coach’s show. Loreman shared that “the ease of being able to transport the table anywhere and give it power and then instantly be able to go live is HUGE!” This ease of use allowed them to take the table to the patio overlooking the softball field for their show.  

The team at Red Devil Television has big plans including a student led podcast about girls sports at Central that will be produced and hosted by an all girls production staff.  

The VidPOD serves more that just a podcast tool. According to Loreman just having students “become more comfortable speaking and hearing their voice over headphones” makes a difference as they develop their skills.  

The Red Devil Television program looks to continue to build on three or four shows a week including continuing their “Game Day” style pick’em show where students and coaches discuss their picks for region sports games. While there may not be sombreros or mascot heads, the engagement and preparation by the students certainly be seen.
