Despite the dominance of visual media, radio and audio content are regaining popularity in India. The rise of podcasts, audiobooks, and radio programs is prompting universities to introduce academic programs in “Radio Jockeying” and audio media. The University of Delhi and the Indian Institute of Mass Communication in New Delhi equip students with practical skills such as voice modulation, scriptwriting, podcast production, live broadcast simulation, and the use of studio equipment.
According to “Tehsil365”, citing the Education Times, these courses enable graduates to build careers as radio hosts, voice-over artists, dubbing actors, podcast hosts, and audio media producers. Many higher education institutions in India already offer specialized programs in this field, and the growth of audio platforms is further increasing demand for these skills.
