On Wednesday, I worked on my questions for Dr. Shankman and finished them up. I then recorded my Scott Snook intro and outro, so I could start finalizing the edits. It probably took me 15 tries to get the one I liked. The fifteenth one is definitely the hardest because you have to still sound enthusiastic and genuine. After that, I had my interview with Dr. Shankman, which went as well as I could have asked for, considering all of the issues I had. My computer told me it was low on storage and said there might be issues saving the recording, so I quickly tried to delete things while on the call and then tried recording. Halfway through, the recording stopped because it said there was no storage left, so I had to record on my phone. There was also a high pitch noise once in a while, which I will have to edit out. I don’t think Dr. Shankman was aware of all of the things going on during the interview, but I am hoping it turns out all okay. Besides all of the issues I had, one of the main things she talked about was reflection, which has similar ties to the points made in other episodes, but there were also new things. Once the audio was downloaded, I started to edit it. I started out trying to remove the high pitch without making the audio sound weird. I think this podcast will be the third one I post. The analytics say that yesterday there were 37 listeners and 54 streams, which is pretty good, but I hope that number continues to rise. I have gotten a lot of great feedback from everyone, which was very nice of them. Some have even offered to reach out to people that I could talk to. I am still deciding which podcast I will post next.

On Thursday, I had my interview with Jaime Irick. It was good and unique, adding a new perspective to my podcast. After the interview, I started setting up a platform to help with distribution. There were a lot of great free ones to choose from, so I had to research which one to use. I decided to use Sounder. I put in all of the info I needed and then started submitting my podcast to different platforms. Right now, it’s on Tune In, and I am waiting for Apple Podcasts and Spotify to approve it. I then started editing my interview with Jaime and did a little with my interview with Mark. I reached out to some local people to see if they would come on my podcast. I also asked if they knew anyone that I could talk to. Hopefully, HOBY will have some connections. On Friday, I wrote my speaking parts for the Scott Snook and Jaime Irick episodes. I also tried recording a new trailer for my podcast, which I like better. I uploaded it, and it will be the first thing people see on my podcast. I wa...

Thursday was an editing day. It definitely was one of my hardest days because I have listened to these interviews so many times, it is hard to focus while editing them. I started with the interview with Dr. Shankman. I was able to remove the high pitch noise after trying many different effects, but then it made the audio sound different, so I had to try to make it sound more natural. I then went to the part I had to record with my phone, and my part sounded good, but hers sounded like she was on the phone. I first removed the hissing from the computer, and I am still trying to make her part sound better. I then went on to edit my conversation with Professor Snook. The other day, I attempted many times to get an intro, background, and outro I liked, but I decided I was not happy with it, so I re-recorded it. I also made some edits to the Jaime Irick interview. I am close to getting the audio from the Amy Latimer interview, which is good because I haven’t gotten to listen to the recordin...
