ITC174 Assessment 3 – Original content: Podcast

.Listen to “ITC Assessment 3” on Spreaker.

This assessment required me to record a podcast, mix it and embed it into this blog. I have learnt a lot along the way of the podcast creating process.

Firstly, coming up with the content for the podcast, to make sure I had a smooth flow to the podcast I wrote a script of what I wanted to say. I did not stick to the script word of word during the recording as I knew that I wouldn’t be able to smoothly read it back.

Secondly mixing the audio, I used Audacity and while the mixing of the audio itself wasn’t too much of a challenge, finding downloadable music was. I spent many hours looking for useable content, finally getting the music from Jamendo. Tweaking the audio with the layers of sound was a nice challenge, though I don’t believe I came close to using the Audacity to its full extent.

Thirdly being able to correctly embed the podcast. That require some googling to do correctly. In the end I found that creating a podcast to be a highly time-consuming task and a lot of searching is involved.
