Sadly, this is one of the last Thlogs this quarter. This year is moving by insanely fast, and we only really have a few more classes left. But we are on the home stretch and it’ll be nice to have a break for Thanksgiving and then Christmas.
We only had one class this week which kinda sucks because WP3 is here and I’m still super hazy on whether I’m taking my project in the right direction, or whether it’s going to turn out horribly. As I write script after script, and try to speak and record, I find myself confused on how to really get into the “Podcast Mood”. I think the main thing is is that I find it difficult/a little weird talking to no one and trying to argue a point. I also things it’s the fact that I know this is graded, and I’m allowing my voice to shine because i’m more in ‘student-mode’. Also, the techy side of things, which I was super excited for, is wayyyyyy harder than I anticipated. But, the tech, just the like entire project, will be fun because it involves a topic that I’m passionate about, and me creating something that I’ve always wanted to try.
In terms of speaking or getting into the ‘Podcast Character”, I think the hardest part is trying to specifically stick to being a “writing/composition DJ” who’s trying to point out the rhetorical features of both pieces. I catch myself wanting to be more of Podcast Dj who is giving my opinion on this cool new song and article I just found. I have been thinking, that I should change my focus around and instead of going through all the aspects that are different between the two, I could focus on the similarities and show how musicians employ the same techniques (moves) that writers do.
Overall, I am actually enjoying this project a lot--despite all the work lol-- and in the end, no matter what my grade is, I think this project will turn out great. It may or may not just take about 15 hours away from my life.
