Aceh Besar – In order to maximize the potential of the younger generation, the program Aneuk Muda Aceh Unggul Hebat (AMANAH) held a training session for professional podcast production at the Amanah Building, Aceh Besar. This activity is part of the Amanah commitment, initiated by the National Intelligence Agency (BIN) at the direction of President Jokowi, to provide a creative platform for the youth of Aceh, particularly in the field of broadcasting.
This training takes place in a podcast studio located on the second floor of the Amanah Multifunction Building, Aceh Industrial Area (KIA), Ladong Village, Mesjid Raya District. Participants were given the opportunity to learn about various technical aspects of podcast production, including the use of Open Broadcaster Software (OBS), camera setup, lighting, and camera switching techniques. One of the participants, Thamlicha, expressed her enthusiasm for the facilities provided.
“Today we are learning OBS, setting up the camera, lighting, and getting to know some cameras with switcher techniques,” said Thamlicha when met during the training.
The podcast studio in the Amanah Building is designed to professional standards. The room is divided into two parts: a shooting studio at the front and an operator room at the back for audio setup, camera work, recording, and online broadcasting. According to Thamlicha, this facility already meets professional standards with complete equipment, such as cameras, computers, lighting, and aesthetic decorations.
“It’s quite adequate and can be said to be at a professional level. Starting from the camera, computer, lighting, everything is very proper,” he added.
This program also aims to encourage participants’ creativity by preparing them to become podcasters who can manage podcast events professionally. In the future, they are expected to invite creative speakers and explore their abilities in the field of broadcasting.
“We strive to create even more and explore ourselves as Acehnese,” said Thamlicha.
In addition to podcast studio facilities, the Amanah Building is also equipped with various other supporting amenities, such as a music studio, photography studio, digital library, and other training rooms. These facilities are presented as part of President Joko Widodo’s flagship program aimed at enhancing the skills of the younger generation in Aceh, particularly in the creative and broadcasting fields.
With this program, Amanah is expected to continue being an effective platform to maximize the potential of Aceh’s youth, enabling them to compete in the digital era.
