Podcast course -

Rating- 3 stars

• Wednesday and Thursday were dedicated to an online virtual course and a zoom call with Justin and Dave; who are experienced in making, recording and sharing podcasts.

• On Wednesday, we wrote a script for an 'alien invasion' in which we were given a template to work on, and all we had to do was add intro and outro music tunes as well as record the final piece of our news report.

• A podcast is an audio program in which one can talk about any topic of their choice, or interview a guest. People can listen to these podcasts and develop a better understanding of what is entailed, and gain inspiration.

• On Thursday, we interpreted some sound effects and speech into our new fictional podcast. My podcast was about an arrest, so some effects I used were police sirens, hand cuffs and loud knocking.

3 things I enjoyed:

1. Making my own podcast

2. Hearing other people's ideas and sound effects

3. Exploring new apps

2 things I learned:

1. How to use 'Soundbible' to download sound effects

2. How to transfer my written script into 'Bandlab'.

1 thing I would change:

1. I would rather do the course for one day, because I felt that it was a bit long.
