National Park Tips is a weekly podcast created for people who love to travel. Every week is a different National Park where you can gain insight and tips for your adventure!  

I used audacity to combine the sound elements for this podcast. I started with a forest ambience, birds chirping and then faded in an acoustic guitar. I tried to think of music that could relate to the Rocky mountains! Then precisely at the fifteen second line I started speaking. A little before the end I faded the music as well.

Extra Innings is a weekly podcast created for softball fans by softball fans. Every week your hosts Aleisha and Brian will bring you updates, debates, and intriguing discussions about the world of softball, between the little leaguers making their first steps onto the field, to the professionals who travel the globe representing Team USA. Join us while we cover the broad strokes of the week to week happenings on the field. For today’s episode, we’ll be discussing the NCAA’s 2022 opening weekend. See you on the mound!

For this podcast, I made use of ambient sounds, a sound effect, music, and voice recording. I used the ambient sound of a crowd at a field first, to help acclimate the listener to the feeling of being out at a game. The type of game becomes more apparent shortly after by the added sound effect of a person hitting a ball, and the crowd transitioning to cheering at the play that is happening on the field. I have the music fade in as the crowd cheers and continue as the crowd fades out, and the introduction is made. Then the music fades out after both the hosts are introduced and I let everything center on the voice recording from then on as the main topic of the episode begins.

Lynn’s Let’s Play Gaming Reviews is a podcast for non-gamers and gamers ranging from the casual beginners to hard core video game players. Every week on Sunday, I will review and talk about a video game of my choice. This can range from the old retro games to the “Blockbuster” AAA games. I will you give pros and cons about the games and whether or not if it was worth the purchase. In addition, I will give you in game tips, tricks, and possible glitches to look out for. In this episode, I will be reviewing the indie action-adventure game Death’s Door.

For this podcast, I used a variety of video game sound effects, music, and voice overs. From the beginning, I used a small glitch wave sound effect quickly following a kind of 80’s type video game introduction music to get the listeners to feel like they are about to start a new video game. Next I try to fade out the 80’s introduction music and fade in a video game loop background music and my voice over at the same time. I chose this background music because it has fairy tale ambience to it and I want the listener feel like they are beginning a new adventure game with me. I lowered the volume of the background music to be able to hear my voice over more clearly. At the end, I faded out the background music and added the press start sound effect to signal that the podcast was about to begin, similar to pressing start in an actual video game.
