We made it! *cues Rocky victory music*
Honestly, I don't know about you guys, but this course was one of the hardest courses I have had in a long time. If you don't know a thing about how to make a podcast, like me, or anything about technology, again...like me, then this course will really challenge you.
In the beginning of the course I was all excited about making a podcast, merely because I had never made one and I was terrified. Later on as I was in the process of gathering my information for my segment, and outlining my script, I realized that creating a podcast is no joke, and I applaud the people who we had to emulate who make this their career.
The one thing I will say to future students who are going to be taking this course, whether its mandatory or not, is time management is EVERYTHING! Alone, I took 10hrs to edit my 15 minute podcast and two days to record. If you want exceptional sound quality and a professional sounding podcast, take your time and DON'T wait till last minute; every possible tech error will happen when you think your completed (trust me!)
Also, I found that the recording software I downloaded and used to record my podcast, Audacity, works really well. If your computer challenged like myself, then Audacity is definitely the way to go. Its navigation is straight forward, and there are tons of tutorial videos on YouTube if you happen to get stuck on anything.
All-in-all I'm satisfied with my podcast product and the construction of this course. I will be spending sometime listening to others podcasts to see what you guys came up with :)
