It's Over

Hello Jennifer Andreae and class,

Considering I have no previous experience with creating podcasts, I am surprised by how good and semi professional mine sounds. I'm happy that I was able to research a topic that I'm genuinely interested in. I was able to discuss the economic, political, and social aspects of music in a way that is accessible to listeners, in comparison to theses and books written on the topic. This assignment was a nice break from the typical string of essays I'm used to doing. 

If I had a couple of more hours I would have changed the fading for my music, at parts the transition into dialogue isn't as smooth as I'd like it to be. I'd also think of a better title.

What's one piece of advice you'd offer to a student just starting this course?

I feel like I've answered this question at least three times, in response to some similarly phrased question. Don't mind my sass, I am just overly stressed and tired. My one piece of advice for future students would be to get as familiar as you possibly can with your chosen recording software. I am not, as I've mentioned before (in a similarly phrased way), very technologically capable. I had to rely on someone to help me save and convert my podcast to the correct file. Short story shorter, said person did not save my work, and actually lost it in the process. So I had to rerecord, reformat and reedit my entire podcast... on the day it was due. Also, don't procrastinate. Like one of my blogger's friends said: procrastination is an art, sadly one that doesn't pay well.
