For this project, I think that being able to have a more fluid and emotional conversation through the podcast really helped get the point across in a way that the paper couldn’t fully accomplish. I actually really enjoyed recording the podcast and talking through my ideas and subjects that didn’t come to life as much in the writing. To me, while I’m happy with how my paper turned out, I think that the podcast added another element of creativity and fluidity that I wasn’t able to capture before. One of the downsides to the podcast was the fact that much of the language I used in my paper just didn’t sound well as I spoke and I found myself rearranging the sentences I read as I was talking to make them sound more conversational. But I think this also helped me not sound too scripted and made the podcast sound a little more realistic. While creating my podcast plan I found it difficult to try and delete such large chunks of my writing to narrow down what I needed. It was hard trying to decide what needed to be kept and what was just fluff that wasn’t necessary. I also needed to change, combine, and restructure a lot of my sentences to make them sound better spoken or to condense multiple unnecessary sentences into one powerful idea. But in the end, I think that this revision and adjusting of my paper into what became my podcast was relatively successful and helped me create a stronger project.
