Podcast

Well, Brenden and I attempted to make a podcast. With no idea what in the world we were doing, we followed Keri's advice of making it like a conversation, and we rambled on for over 13 minutes talking about Facebook as digital writing, as well as other means of digital writing.
That was the easy part. It's so easy to have a conversation about something you know about or have an opinion about. The not easy part is trying to get it formatted into something that will be able to uploaded into my blog.
I am not a Mac person. I actually loathe Mac and it's non-right click button ass. But since I know nothing about these editing programs, and there was already one installed on the Mac side, I am trying to use it to my best ability.
Garageband is actually not too bad to use. I've used MovieMaker on my computer, so it's kind of like that, but still, I have no idea what I'm doing.  I've managed to cut down our talking from 13 minutes to less than 5, but I still don't know if this is what we are supposed to even be doing.
I'm the kind of person that needs confirmation that I am doing things right, and I feel like I'm not doing anything right so far.
Maybe a few more minutes of editing and then attempting to upload it to my blog is what I need to make things feel right, but I kind of feel like I'm at a standstill right now.

I'm not a podcast kind of person. I hate hearing my own voice. I had to listen to NPR so much when I was doing my internship at Planned Parenthood that I haven't listened to it since. Listening to people talk without seeing them always makes me think of that cheesy Delilah radio show where she plays love songs and talks with a porn voice. (Maybe that's what I need to do to stand hearing my voice...)

I think it could be useful in some ways, but I don't know if I am up for it. We'll see.

Podcast 2 

After all is said and done, now that I have 2 podcasts under my belt, I feel a little better about the process.  Yay for learning something new today!
