From Concept to Celebration: Digital Business Management Students Launch DigiPod.ca
By Hanadi Alnawab
Fourth-year students in the Bachelor of Commerce – Digital Business Management program celebrated the successful launch of DigiPod.ca, an innovative podcast network created for students, by students, in December 2024. This milestone marked the culmination of their final group project in the MGMT 4002: Product Management course, demonstrating their creativity, collaboration, and entrepreneurial spirit.
The launch event was a dynamic showcase of student talent and engagement. Each team hosted interactive booths, demoing their podcasts and sharing behind-the-scenes insights, including a lighthearted blooper reel displayed on the main screen. Students also organized games with prizes, adding an interactive and festive touch to the celebration.
The event buzzed with excitement and energy, attracting support from the Humber community and industry partners alike. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the students’ hard work and innovation. For a closer look at the launch, read the coverage by Bachelor of Journalism student Victoria Hincapie.
On April 14, 2025, we launched Trends in Tourism, a podcast that explores emerging trends shaping the tourism and hospitality industry, in collaboration with Anke Föller-Carroll, professor in the Longo Faculty of Business, and her students in the Hospitality and Tourism Operations Management Grad Certificate program. The podcast features expert insights and student-driven research.
Additionally, a group of semester-eight students worked on DigiPod for their capstone project with Professor Mark Stoiko and produced “Passing the Torch,” a special episode by our graduating students as they share insights and tips for future DigiPod creators! More information about the special episode and their deliverables can be found on the DigiPod website.
We look forward to seeing how our innovative podcast network grows and evolves in the future.
