I have always been interested in the paranormal and love to listen to spooky podcasts. For this assignment, my imagined podcast, That’s the Spirit!, will feature a different paranormal topic each week covering haunted houses, UFOs, Bigfoot, and even Mothman. During the episodes that are about hauntings and ghosts, I will play EVPs (electronic voice phenomenons) submitted by listeners to determine if it was maybe the wind whistling or perhaps something else…. There will also be ghostly puns, many ghostly puns.
I don’t want this podcast to be super serious; I want it to be lighthearted, fun, and quirky. That’s why I chose this spooky 60s (think B-52’s), surf rock intro music. Scooby-Doo was and still is one of my favorite cartoons of all time, so the music is sort of an homage to the show. At the end of the intro, there is a devious, deep laugh. I chose that sound mainly for comedic effect and thought it would be a good way to close the intro.
