Over the weekend, I was able to start editing down some of my other podcasts. Editing involves trimming out long pauses, deleting unnecessary words, and extra content that I do not need. Once I do this, all I need to add are the intro, the music, the background information, and the outro. I was able to send my first draft of my podcast to Mr. Moulthrop and receive feedback, so I can fix everything that needs to be fixed and then finish my first podcast up. Today, I researched Jaime Irick, who I am interviewing tomorrow, and created questions for him. I then found some new people and their contacts, so I could reach out to them. I tried reaching out to about ten new people. I was also able to narrow down my choices for the name. Today I listened to part of a podcast with Jim Collins, who talked about if it was possible to teach leadership, which had a lot of relevance to my podcast, and it was very interesting. I now need to start thinking about a graphic for my cover. There are so many different things I could do, so that will also be hard to choose. My project has been going very well. Going into it, I was not sure what to expect. I was supposed to create a calendar, but I feel like most things change every day, which isn’t a bad thing. When Hawken talks about experiential learning, I feel like my project is just that. It is me on my own going out and doing it. I am not following any guide, and as I go on, my project keeps developing. Sometimes it is hard because I have to keep myself motivated every day, and there is not much collaboration. It is also difficult to get people to respond to emails or agree to be on the podcast. Luckily I only need a few more people, but I still hopefully will get a few more responses.
