Introduction
The Podcast Project challenged us to create a conversational piece about a topic we are interested in. Instead of doing a topic Akhand and I usually discuss, we decided to step out and research the Gateway Process- a topic we’ve been interested in, but haven’t learned much about. We got the chance to interview people who interact with this topic daily and use pieces of our conversation in the podcast itself!

Reflection
This podcast was one of the most lengthy collaborative projects I’ve done in Freestyle. I learned a lot about working with other people as I had a partner throughout the project and we had to interview multiple people outside of that. I also really enjoyed the fact that I could immerse myself in researching and discussing a completely new topic, something I haven’t been doing much in quarantine. I think my partner and I had big challenges with time management as we both are second semester seniors with a lot on our plates, but honest communication really helped us get through it. I would recommend first time podcasters to discuss a topic that interests them but they know nothing about as that was one of the most enjoyable aspects for me.
