Technobus Tales


“Technobus Tales” AI image generated using the prompt “A 1:1 square, high-resolution podcast cover for a show titled ‘Technobus Tales’. Show a modern white-and-blue mobile library bus parked at a slight angle in a sunny outdoor setting with blue sky and a few trees. The bus has a blue wrap with circuit board pattern graphics along the side and front. Add a large, centered, bold sans-serif title text at the top that reads ‘Technobus Tales’ in white with a subtle drop shadow for readability. Cartoon style, sharp details, vibrant but not oversaturated, no extra logos, no extra words.” by ChatGPT. February 2026

Technobus Tales is a podcast about my library work that I conducted while working on the Technobus, helping people with all sorts of Tech help. Each podcast will focus on one problem, the troubleshooting, followed by the solution.

I recorded my own voice using my Mac computer with a Snowball Mic and Shock-Mount in a low noise environment. I edited using Logic Pro X which came preinstalled with my Mac. I used the Freesound website to search for the sound effects and music I used. I found Inspiring Space Piano loop which gave a sense of wonder to my voice. I added the sound effects of background phone ringing and dial-up internet along with an opening door sound at the end, all of which I lowered the volume for the mix. I looked for an ambient sound for a bus driving around and discovered Journey on the Bus, which is a portion I sliced and cut that did not have any voice popping up, and at a lowered volume, worked well, adding that ambient bus sound in movement through a city sound. It took a while to realize I needed to bounce the finished file in order to save it.

Solo-Dev is a interview podcast that dives into the world of solo-developer video game design. Each episode, we discuss programs and tools needed, explore techniques for effective design and the creative decisions one makes when building a game from the ground up. Through these interviews with solo creators across the industry, we break down how to figure out a strategy for building up your game with discussions around different game engines, art styles, publishing platforms, and more.

For the audio, I picked a couple of sounds that I think kick-starts you into a video-gamey atmosphere. I lowered the volume on the background music, all of which was put together in Canva.

Podcast Description:

“Legends Reborn” is a limited-run Survivor fan podcast designed to build excitement for the upcoming 50th season! This season features returning players from the first 49 seasons and it is one of the largest casts to date with 24 players returning. As such, this podcast will feature episodes focusing on each cast member, revisiting their original seasons and discussing the moves that granted them Legend status. The goal is a fun, lore-heavy show geared towards fans!

Audio and Video Editing Notes:

To match the classic Survivor vibe, I used tribal‑style drum beats as the background music. Additionally, I found a replica of the the well‑known Survivor horn sound which I inserted directly after my title introduction. While recording, I tried to keep my tone upbeat and energetic, similar to what you’d hear in other Survivor podcasts.

For the poster I used an image of the show’s most recognizable symbol, the torch. I started with a single photo of a burning torch, which I then cropped tightly. After that, I duplicated the image twice and arranged the three torches side‑by‑side to represent the three eventually season finalists!

To edit the image I used Canva. To edit the audio I used Adobe Premiere. I tried editing in Audacity, but I found that Premiere gave me better control over the volume level and fade effects.

Footnotes

“Footnotes Podcast Art” by Christina Mumpower, a derivative of Book and Coffee by Magda K, licensed under CC BY 2.0. Image was downloaded on 2/17/26 and edited using Canva. Derivative is licensed under CC BY-NC 4.0.
“Footnotes: Episode 1” by Christina Mumpower is licensed under CC BY-NC 4.0.

“Footnotes” is a weekly podcast that delves into all genres of books and brings on different guests with a special interest or knowledge on that week’s book/topic the book addresses. The soft background music is intended to create a cozy, coffee shop type feel that allows the listener to relax during the episode. I wanted it to feel like the they were getting ready to sit down with a good book themselves. The sound effect of the page turning served as a signal that the title of the book was about to be announced.

I wanted the podcast art to reflect the same feeling that the podcast has: cozy vibes and good reads. The coffee and book gives the air of sitting in a tucked away corner of a coffee shop while the green text complements the soft browns, greens, and pinks of the picture. I used some of the techniques we have learned, such as the rule of thirds, to crop the original image.

Through My Lens: Beyond the Office Work

Through My Lens: Beyond the Office Work is a podcast that follows the journey of how photography can boost morale for working, office professionals, and help them find creativity and new perspectives in their everyday lives. My podcast will emphasize how moments in routine workspaces can be transfigured into impactful, visual stories using photography.
My audio piece includes a narration recorded by me, an original printing and typing sound effect recorded in the office I work at (including office ambient background noise), and nostalgic music. These sound elements create a realistic workplace atmosphere while supporting the theme of finding creativity beyond routine office life.

Quick-Time Event

“Quick-Time Event Poster” by John Gonzalez is a derivative that includes “Nintendo 8-bit controller” by OpenClipart, published under Public Domain. Originally downloaded on 02/16/2026 and with Canva. Generative fill was used for the background, with the prompt “Podcast advertisement for video gaming title ‘quick-time event.’ This should be futuristic, but look like something for the news.” The derivative is licensed under the Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0).

My imagined podcast, Quick-Time Event, is a short burst of information on news developments in the gaming industry. It will talk business, new releases and reveals, and also take a quick moment to highlight prominent individuals in the field. Because of this, I used chiptune based music in the background of my voice audio, along with a song dive that will lead to the music, followed by the sound effect “GO” to highlight the action starting.

Global Heartbeat

“Global Heartbeat” AI‑generated anime image using the prompt: “Cherry blossom background with friends, family and cats for the Global Heartbeat” by ChatGPT, February 2026.
The Global Heartbeat Podcast” by Oi Kwan Lui is licensed under (CC BY-NC 4.0)

Global Heartbeat is a monthly podcast for travel lovers and culture admirers—whether you are constantly on the move or simply dreaming of your next adventure. Each episode takes you to a different destination, exploring the stories, traditions, and hidden gems that make every place unique. Every month features a themed journey. For example, in March we might wander through Japan during cherry blossom season, soaking in the beauty of cherry blossom, spring festivals, and local flavors. Other episodes will spotlight festivals, seasonal moments, iconic landmarks, and the everyday magic of cultures around the world. “Wherever you are, let the world come to you—one heartbeat at a time.“

For the audio, I chose a gentle piano track as the background, layered with the soft purring of cats and the light chirping of birds. Japan has long been known as a cat‑loving nation, and that charm flows naturally into its anime culture as well. That is why I chose this image—it reflects the country’s deep affection for cats and the way they have become iconic in both everyday life and storytelling.

Booked and Bothered

“Booked and Bothered: A podcast about books, authors, and their drama” AI generated using the prompt “Album art for a podcast about literature, books, and literary figures’ lives but make it a girl gossiping to make it more fun for listeners” by ChatGPT February 2026

“Booked and Bothered: A podcast about books, authors, and their drama” by Hannah Hargraves is licensed under Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0).

Booked and Bothered is a cozy, conversational podcast where I talk about books, authors, and their drama. Each episode explores the love lies, scandals, and secrets of literary figures and the stories they inspired, because the classics were never truly boring. This podcast is classic literature meets modern gossip, to make the subjects that may be daunting to some, more accessible and fun. Booked and Bothered explores the lives and scandals of famous writers, uncovering the love, lies, and drama hidden behind classic literature in a way that’s fun, cozy, and totally judgment free. While also breaking down classics, and talking about juicy themes and tidbits that readers may have not caught the first read, or that may intrigue new readers, no homework required.

I chose to open my podcast with a piano to evoke a feeling of another era, such as the Regency era. I tied that in with a cafe ambience to set a cozy mood, inviting the listener to join me for a cup of tea or coffee and a good gossip session. I added the sound of a page turning before I began to speak to give the feel that we were opening a book as we entered into the literary world of the past. Once I began to talk about Emily Dickinson, I added the sound of a pen or, in her case, a quill scribbling on paper, which she often did bent over a page, creating a new poem. At the end, I close with the sound of tea being poured into a mug to emphasize what I was saying, spilling the tea.

Maple Street Murder

“Maple Street Murder” by Melody Murray, licensed CC by 4.0, derivative of original design template by @lutberbel via Canva.com

Maple Street Murder combines my love of mystery, horror, and dramatic true crime media all in one! I knew I wanted to create something spooky for this assignment, so I utilized ChatGPT (for the very first time! In order to save brain space for the meatier aspects of this assignment) to generate a short “Unsolved Murders” reminiscent script, and Maple Street Murder was born. The overall vision for this podcast would be to follow this particular (fictional) case alluded to in the narration.

Since I recruited my boyfriend for the audio narration, both of our names are on the title card with the idea that we would be hosting together. We used my closet as our sound booth to record the audio narration portion. I found the PERFECT “The X-Files” vibe music to accompany the narration (I gasped at how well they went together!) I was also able to find a spooky/ethereal forest ambience audio that complemented the other two audios well. I then added a couple fades, as well as a podcast filter for his voice. I am overall very happy with how this turned out!
