I am very happy that this podcast is finally over. It was a very time consuming and an extremely frustrating project. I found myself wondering why I was even making a podcast because I wasn't in a digital media class. All of my research and written work was completed ahead of time, but composing the podcast was difficult. Living in a house with 8 people makes it very hard to find somewhere quiet to record, and you can't record in the library because you can't make any noise. I also had technical difficulties with my computer --crashed so I had to reboot the whole system. This was very frustrating since I had all of my research and my transcript completed, but I had to ask for an extension because I could not record my podcast. I think it would be a lot better if we just had to compose the transcript with all the research and not have to physically make the podcast. Plus most of us are amateurs at recording and editing sound and don't have the proper recording tools, so it doesn't sound as good as it should.
On another note, I feel happy with the outcome of my podcast because a lot of time was spent on it. I feel my research was thoroughly done and I had a lot of interesting facts. I have learned a lot about smoking advertisements through this project. I do, although, wish that I had more knowledge of how to edit sound and I wish I had better recording tools so my podcast could sound more professional. The advice I would offer on anyone taking this course is to educate themselves about recording softwares and start recording early because you my run into technical difficulties like I did.
