Podcast Blues- the process to it all.

I wanted to talk about my process with everyone that's reading this if you ever want to do a podcast yourself, here's some really bad inspo so you can do what i didn't My group and I decided to meet on a day where we all felt comfortable and none of our jobs would interconnect with each-others. One of our main priorities was to find a quiet room so we could all record the podcast without any interruptions. Me and my friend decided to look around the college building to find any places or recording studios to record our  Po dcast  but we were in no luck as all of the rooms were occupied. We decided to leave and find a room on the day of the podcast as our lecturer wasn’t having a class that  da y  so we wanted to test out our luck. Before the podcast, my group and I decided to go into the canteen and brainstorm our ideas for what we were to talk about; college life. We spent about an hour doing this, one of the people in my group was my friend so it would be eas...

Culture Mission; What's so good about IOT??? A PROCESS

Hiya everyone! Haven't written in a while, i've been very busy with college but I'm back at it for my second mission.  In this mission there were various different options from the last creativity mission that we've done on podcasts. This time I had to form an entirely different group which we thankfully did right after our presentations a couple of weeks ago. There were options such as Youtube, memes, blogging but I wanted to do research on something entirely new to me and to the world itself which was Internet of things. Digital audio was pretty self explanatory but I had no idea what I would be doing for Iot and my group felt the same way, i asked my lecturer Shaun and he thought that a questionnaire would be a good idea which we thought was pretty interesting so we went with it. My goals for this mission are entirely different from my previous one. Before we had to think of questions for this questionnaire we had to research the importance of internet of things a...

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 s...

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. On the first day we made a  whatsapp  group as one of the people in our group preferred to speak outside of social media. But we tried to keep slack in a way to communicate how we’re getting on and so on. The problem with doing a podcast is you need a quiet place to record yourselves as audio can pick up everything around you so that was going to be a problem. I did all the recommended reading and lis...

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. ...
