Creativity Mission; The Podcast Blues, a reflection on the past

Hi all! I wanted to update you on how we got on in the podcast and I have so much to say so here it is!     These past couple of weeks I learned so much about digital audio; Truth be told I'd glance at it if I hadn’t done this module. I stepped out of my comfort zone and I had done a podcast and edited it with two others from my group. It’s nothing perfect, i don't expect it to be but I am proud of it. Digital audio is very broad, it’s not just a recording of something or someone, it’s the sound your phone makes when someone texts or calls you, it’s the sound you hear when there’s a fire evacuation happening and it’s the sound you cry to when you’re listening to top 100 sad songs after you’ve been broken up with. There are so many examples in everyday life and it’s nice to have that in the back of your mind when you’re researching important stuff about digital media.    Anyway, when I was listening to a variety of  Podcasts  I realised why so many people hype th

Creativity mission; The Podcast Blues

Hiya everyone, it’s been a busy couple of  weeks  but I wanted to share my experience with what my group and I have been up to f or my  intro to digital media  mission .  F irst my group and I decided on Interactive fiction because that’s what stood out to me, But I've always been a big fan of podcasts and I know a lot of friends that listen to them whenever they fall asleep to make overthinking less of a problem.  We decided to change to digital audio, as it doesn’t put a lot of pressure on us but it’s still something out of our comfort zones.

Bird Whisperer S1 E001 : The introduction

You're putting me under pressure with this introduction but I guess I'm gonna have to start. My name is Anna, I'm from Poland and I've had a person ask me if I'm from Northern Ireland, I honestly don't know what drugs they were on but whatever it is, don't want it! When I was 14 I was really into writing and I always wanted to write my own book, but in order to do that I had to be creative so that's why I'm here. I honestly don't know how I got accepted into this course, but all I know is that you guys saved me from another year of working in Dunnes Stores so thank you. I have 3 cockatiels, if you don't know what they are than we can't be friends I'm really sorry. Stay tuned for cute photos at the end though, you might regret reading all of this but that's the price you have to pay ;). I'm obsessed with Stephen King and I read his book ''The Stand'' about 5 times, Right now I'm collecting all of his books.
