Introduction

The purpose of this project was to practice conveying messages through a new medium. Before this project, we have only created work through writing or other visual mediums. This project gave us a chance to communicate with the interesting elements of podcasts that allowed us to create a powerful storytelling experience.

I was inspired by Radiolab’s “Smarty Plants”. I liked how the podcast included interesting sound effects and the hosts spoke to each other as if they were chatting. This gave me a comfortable atmosphere while listening to the podcast and I tried to somehow recreate the mood while also adding my own styles.

Reflection

I had a lot of fun during the making of this project because I was able to speak to the audience through an interesting way. It was not easy for me to record myself and being satisfied with the audio because I always get nervous when I have to record my voice. However, I practiced many times before actually recording it to be more comfortable with the process. I am very glad I had the chance to create a podcast about a topic I am interested in. And I hope it can entertain my audience.
