Introduction
Right now, podcasts are becoming increasingly more popular and accessible in the time we live in. For the last few months, we have been learning how to create our own podcast to discuss a topic we are interested in. For this project, I was inspired to make something that was relaxing and easy to listen to. I was inspired by The Jenna Julien Podcast and a series on Adult Swim called Joe Pera Talks with You.
About this Podcast
Two good friends discuss sleeping to help you fall asleep in this era of stress.
Meet the Hosts
Belle Williams is a sweet & somewhat spacey teenager who attends Mountain View High School. Belle’s trouble with falling asleep has come from her OCD which can keep her anxious thinking about things. Both her & Christa attend the Freestyle Academy art program offered by their high school.
Christa Pauly is an artistic & fun-loving student at Mountain View High School who is commonly known by others as “that girl who draws in class”. Christa became friends with Belle Williams in their middle school’s dance team, where the two of them came to terms with their complete lack of coordination & ability to dance. Due to her ADD, she will sometimes have troubles sleeping when her mind is too distracted by thoughts.
Process
Reflection
Upon finishing this project, I feel proud of the end result that my partner & I were able to produce. The entire process of making a single podcast episode turned out to be a lot of work, however I feel like the hardest part for me was finalizing the script. Belle & I took about a week longer than planned to write the script for our podcast. It was very important to me that the script we made sounded natural, while also staying on topic and being concise. At the beginning of this project, the subject we chose to work on was more complicated and proved harder to make work. We ended up simplifying the topic which made the finished product more successful in the end.
