Thursday, April 21st

Today was another productive day for my project. Since I didn't have an actual interview today, I worked on writing the introductions for my interviews. As I mentioned earlier in this blog, after doing some research on what a proper podcast is made up of, I realized all of them have a fairly thorough opening statement introducing the person who they are interviewing and the context of the interview. Because of this, I devoted a good amount of time today to writing the introductions for Blakely Mattern and Mary McVeigh. I used their biographies that I found online as well as information I found out about them in their interviews.

After writing the introductions, I went back to editing. I continued cleaning up the interviews by cutting out unnecessary elements or parts where the sound cuts out. This can be a bit tedious, but I know its necessary for my podcast to sound professional. I edited for a while, as it is a pretty time consuming task. After my editing, I began touching up and editing the questions that I had written for my Costa Rica interview on Monday. I'm very excited about this interview, and I will get someone to look over my interview questions tomorrow to make sure I am all set to go for that.
