Located at 1045 Public Affairs, the Podcasting In Place/Portable INstallation Cart (PIPPIN) is available to help UCLA faculty, staff, and students who want the ability to record solely their voices for lectures and podcasts. This cart includes four microphones, four sets of headphones, and a Zoom recorder (not Zoom the app!) all enclosed in a cart.
All recordings must be copied to either the user’s personal laptop or uploaded to a cloud-based storage. The Zoom recorder records the four different microphones onto four separate audio files on an SD card. SD card readers (both USB and USB-C) are available to borrow to copy the files. Once the user has left their recording session, HumTech is not responsible for maintaining and/or storing any recordings.
PIPPIN is available to reserve on weekdays between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm. Check the schedule below!

Schedule and Availability
Scheduling priority will be given to Humanities classes that best utilize available resources. Scheduling conflicts after considering resource utilization, will be prioritized in the order received.
Please note that we require at least a week’s notice for use of the podcasting cart to arrange staffing.
