Greetings, After completing our first official Podcast for DISS and my very own first Podcast (ever!), many emotions come to my mind, in this email I’ll be detailing some of these emotions and experiences. First and foremost, it would have never crossed my mind all the preparation and technological requirements involved prior to recording a podcast. For a recording of less than 10 minutes, we needed, headphones, microphones, computers, dialogue participants, the whole marketing team, and an ever evolving script, not to mention that the podcast was recorded in English, which proved challenging at times. I mention the language component mainly because for some, stepping out of their confort language zone could be right down scary. Once we overcame these hurdles, the fun part began. As I mentioned at the beginning, this was my very first podcast, and as so, I was very excited, mainly because, I was doing something that many people dream of and only few get to do. Obviously, our first takes were less than optimal (lol)… If I can compare it with a similar experience, it would be to learning to ride a bike. At first you don’t understand the complex process behind it because you look at it from the outside, and the only thing you can think of is… “what if I fall?” or in this case… “what if make a mistake?”. Yes, we sounded robotic and our energy levels were not in tune and some of the dialogue was repetitive… However, the more we practiced, the more we felt comfortable with the interaction. As for the learning to ride a bike metaphor, we are still learning, but soon… soon we are going to start doing tricks on one wheel, and with no hands… stay tuned!
