Podcast Reflection

Overall, I think that class did extremely well with the task of making a podcast. There were many directions that we took and I think that each one has its merits. I liked how some people chose to use their podcast to perpetuate a hoax; I think it would be fun to try that if I had to do this project again. I appreciate the integration of music and sound effects into people’s projects. It took me a long time to figure out how to effectively do that in my own podcast and I feel that it adds a lot to the final product. I also like the way people used interviews to further their points. Specifically, the use of the 3 year old boy both amused me and convinced me of the points made in that podcast. Other people used interviews of experts to give an analysis of the hoax they were covering. I went this route and found that the interviews provided useful information while changing the monotonous pace of a narrator. Many of us also added funny voices or accents to spice up the character which worked well to keep my attention. Another Idea that I liked which I didn’t incorporate was the use of music to add emphasis. I think Alex did this well because he edited his podcast so that intriguing sounds aligned with important bits of information. All in all, this project gave us a lot of room for creativity and I think we did a great job.
