Living in Trinidad is a podcast about everything T&T, which is short for Trinidad and Tobago. The focus will be based more on the main island of Trinidad but will feature occasional episodes on Trinidad’s sister isle, Tobago. Topics covered include the “goings-on” happening on the island which will vary from entertainment to politics and news.

I decided to open the podcast with steel band music which is iconic to the island and because we are in the Caribbean, I decided to have the crashing waves as an effect behind my voice. I faded the music to transition to my voice and raised the volume of the beach waves behind which did not compete with my voice. I could have improved on the transition time but struggled with Audacity a bit.
