In a similar way, the podcast has become a popular medium in mainstream media. By working with both, this project is expected to motivate students to approach Cultural Studies through American cinema. Methodology: The method for teaching in class will be the experiential learning method, more precisely the method designed by David Kolb. Discussions: The main challenges this project poses focus on not mistaking its goal with delivering masterclasses in Cultural Studies and filmmaking and on ensuring that the members of each group collaborate in a fair and equitable manner. Conclusions: This project is expected to help students improve their critical thinking skills and stimulate their interest in Cultural Studies and the potential of popular culture. %K American cinema %K critical thinking %K cultural studies %K experiential learning method %K film studies %K higher education %K podcast %K popular culture %K estudios culturales %K cine estadounidense %K cultura popular %K método de aprendizaje experiencial %K pensamiento crítico %K estudios de cine %K podcast %K educación superior %~ Universidad de Cádiz
