Phil Ebiner
I’m Phil Ebiner, an educator, photographer, filmmaker, and founder of Video School and Photography & Friends. Through my online courses and creative community, I’ve helped millions of students around the world learn practical skills in photography, video production, design, and more. My goal is to make creative skills feel accessible, useful, and encouraging, whether you’re picking up a camera for the first time or looking to take your work to the next level.
My teaching style is clear, supportive, and hands-on. I break complex topics into simple steps, explain the “why” behind each technique, and share real-world examples you can immediately apply. As a photographer and filmmaker, I believe great creative work is not just about gear or settings, but about storytelling, intention, observation, and connection. My goal is to help you feel confident, inspired, and capable of bringing your own creative ideas to life.

This course is highly engaging and represents an excellent fit for my professional profile, as I work in the field of Communication and Marketing. It provides valuable insights into strategies and tools, while also enabling me to develop and propose ideas for the creation of our podcast. Furthermore, it supports me in assessing the required equipment and identifying the most suitable environment to ensure an effective production process.

Because I’ve only gone through a couple lessons so far. Hard to leave 5 stars when we haven’t even started covering the meat & potatoes of it all. When the course gets going & you want to ask for a rating, then I very well might leave a 5-star (if I get what I am seeking out of the course, will absolutely leave a 5-star). Full disclosure: I am a fan of Video School courses, so I’m sure this course will be just as good as all the other courses I am taking/have taken from Video School. VS are always a great group of instructors for the technical aspect of creative work.

Great course. Some parts of it are a bit outdated, but that';s the nature and speed of life today. Funny thing that with all talks about normalizign sound and so on lecture 49 is suddenly drops down in audio level :-) Thank you!

The course was good an covered a lot of ground. Some parts were a little out of date, but that's the nature of something that moves fast. I'm planning a more scripted, storytelling podcast, so something about getting from an idea to a script would have been good, but if that's not the experience of the tutors, then I guess it's hard for them to cover that. Something on scripted podcasts could be added, though. Overall a good, informative course.

A Perfectly Balanced and Insightful Experience :) This course is incredibly well-organized and delivers a seamless learning experience. The synergy between the two instructors is exceptional, creating a dynamic and engaging teaching style that sets this course apart from others in its category. If you're looking to build a podcast platform from scratch, this is the perfect starting point. The content is practical, insightful, and relevant, ensuring you gain valuable knowledge and skills. Thank you for creating such a timeless and impactful course—highly recommended for aspiring podcasters!

Good course. It’s great for someone interested in starting a podcast and getting an overview of what is entailed. Some topics were only briefly covered, but it’s to be expected. I don’t think the course is meant to be a deep dive. That being said, I think there’s enough information to have what is needed to start a podcast in a good way.
By Anonymized User on 3/14/2022
Good structure, useful insights and tips, and a solid theoretical preparation for those who want to start their podcasts. I preferred the sessions presented by Phil Ebiner a bit more, most likely because I already completed another masterclass where he teaches and I got used to his presentation style.
By Karen Stoltz on 2/17/2022
Very informative, very good. Would you consider teaching something like Ardour for free and open source? Anyway, I enjoyed the course and have much more direction than when I started. Thank you

A great course! I learned a great deal about podcasting. The lessons on planning and growing the listener base are very instructive. Thanks, Phil and Ravinder, for such a lovely course. I recommend it to one and all.
By Bob Navarra on 8/16/2018
I appreciate the comprehensive, clear and professional delivery of the content. I learned a lot, and was amused (and humbled, but in a good way - lol) at learning what I didn't know that is an important part of putting a podcast together. A lot of work needs to happen before going live! Good teamwork with Phil and Ravi with different styles and approaches. I have taken quite a few classes from Phil, he seems to teach the classes I am interested in and to achieve my goals in the social media world. I highly recommend this class.
