• This assignment meant learning a few new skills such as recording, editing, uploading, and sharing my very first podcast. As I was thinking about what to say, I found myself thinking back to podcasts I’ve listened to and emulating a few of their stylistic choices to get a starting point for my own. It was very different writing out a script that I knew would have to be recorded and not just listened to live; it did make me more aware of how the sentences flowed and the subtleties of certain word choices. I learned how to work Audacity, which I had never done before, but with the aid of their instructions and a few YouTube videos, it went pretty smooth. I had made SoundCloud accounts in the past, so that was the easy part. All in all, a cool opportunity to learn some new skills around editing sound clips and layering music.
