Inside Udaipur Gazette’s Workshop on Communication & Podcasting

The recent workshop hosted by Udaipur Gazette brought together school students, young professionals, and aspiring creators for a practical and focused session on communication and podcasting. Rather than following a textbook format, the workshop addressed real communication struggles people face daily. Through interactive discussions and reflective tasks, participants explored how better communication can improve not only professional performance but personal connections as well.

The session opened with key topics such as difficulty in expressing thoughts, reacting emotionally instead of responding mindfully, icebreaking, and the struggle to articulate clearly. It was emphasized that communication goes beyond just speaking; it involves tone, posture, gestures, and an understanding of one’s own mindset. Topics like setting healthy boundaries in conversation, practicing self-talk, and choosing thoughtful responses sparked small group conversations.

Different types of communication verbal, non-verbal, written, visual, and listening were introduced with real-life examples. A key part of the session was the idea of intercommunication, where the context, intent, and content of a message must all align to ensure clarity. The concept of a “selling mindset” was introduced not in a commercial sense, but as a tool for personal presentation and confidence, useful in interviews, networking, and digital spaces.

Reading habits were also discussed as a simple but valuable way to improve language skills and thought clarity. Participants were encouraged to build better self-perception, as the way one sees oneself strongly influences body language and communication style. The idea that body language often speaks louder than words helped participants realize the importance of posture, eye contact, and gestures in daily interactions.

The podcast segment offered insight into the difference between a podcast and a typical interview. While interviews may feel structured, a podcast flows like a natural conversation with space for curiosity and connection. Sessions on ice-breaking techniques before the recording, and practicing empathy-based questioning, helped participants understand how to host meaningful, guest-centered podcasts.

The workshop underlined that communication and podcasting are both learnable and improvable with consistent practice. Simple exercises like mirror talk, voice recording, and mindful listening can gradually build confidence. The day ended with practical takeaways, reminding participants that effective communication is built on intent, understanding, and continuous self-awareness.
