“Tales from Beyond the Veil” is a podcast idea I thought of while thinking about how I could incorporate horror into my project for the future. I found quite a few horror sounds and while some might dislike the sharp sounds in the beginning, I think it conveys that abrupt horror and disdain rather nicely. The idea for the podcast would be to tell short horror stories at night, likely with a different theme each night. Since it would likely be a midnight podcast for drivers, I would try to incorporate tales on the road, which could even be its own spin-off series!

The sounds I chose were all different ambient sounds likely created with a waterphone which is the strange-looking musical instrument that many horror movies use to create all the horror sound effects. The beginning song was a radio intro that reminded me of the “Twilight Zone” and “Tales from the Crypt”. I recorded myself briefly introducing a tale and let it play out. In longer clips, the sounds would lead into a sound that would begin the story. I ended up combining 1 song, and 2 ambient sounds as well as my own voice recording. I chose a forest with fog to simulate a “veil” as terror often comes from the unknown.

The sounds used in the podcast are bar crowd conversations just how the podcast is supposed to feel that it is a conversation at the bar trying new liquors and new ways to drink it. Other sounds that are in there are glasses cheering and drinks being made.

The Table Turns

“The Table Turns – Episode 1” is a derivative of “Mother Love Bone” by robertodiaz (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0) & “Eddie Vedder” by DennyRamone (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0). Originally downloaded 2/15/2022 and edited with Canva photo editor.

My podcast, The Table Turns, looks at the albums and musicians that formed the 1990’s alternative scene made famous by Seattle, L.A., Athens, and New York. Many bands formed in the 80s only to make it and breakthrough in the 90s with grand hits that stirred up the music scene and gave 80s glam metal a run for its money. Kick back and listen to stories about the trials and tribulations of these musicians to make it in the mainstream, or tragically not make it all through misfortune and then fame.

The podcast contains 3 sound effects and myself speaking. A record player starting, a rock guitar intro, and background noise of a Seattle marketplace bustling with activity, topped by me making my best impression of a radio DJ introducing the next segment of the morning talk shows.

This podcast makes use of the sound of ambient sounds, music, and voices. I chose the crowd cheering and a sports commentator to get the audience excited and engaged. I then added in music that was soft but still engaging while fading out the crowd cheering. Then, I quieted the music when I started my narration.

Kaiju Konversations

“Kaiju Konversations” is derivative of “Godzilla 1984” by Noger Chen under CC 2.0 and licensed under CC 2.0

“Kaiju Konversations: Mothra” podcast is licensed under Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0).

My podcast is called “Kaiju Konversations” a podcast dedicated to talking about the long history and future of giant monster movies. Whether it be original Toho made, the Legendary studio’s adaptation, fanworks, or any other variant of giant monster rampage in movies and other media. Managing to capture the feel of these movies was very tricky. Many of the elements that first came to mind were all likely not creative commons, public domain, or otherwise able to be used in this assignment. But I found myself wanting to stick with the concept so I tried to think of ways around it…

I wound up leaning on the sound of a siren, which is a very common sound in kaiju movies as people are warned to run from the incoming monster. I also added in audio of a news clip from Japan, as a nod to the origin of these sorts of movies as well as to reference the also common motif of some form of news broadcast discussing the attack. Lastly I opted for a techno theme, largely since when I listened to it I could easily see this sort of track appearing in many of the more modern takes on Godzilla.

Weekend Meats is a podcast for the meat enthusiast wanting to elevate their cooking skills or simply wanting to learn a variety of cooking techniques. Each month we find different chefs or grill masters to teach us the ways of the meat world. Today, we are learning how to reverse sear a steak with the time ole method of sous vide.

This podcast includes voice (spoken word), sound effects, and music. The introduction sound effects are faded in and prepare the listener for what we are about to do that include filling up a pot with water and searing a steak. For a smooth transition, the sound effects are faded out while voice is then faded in to further describe the podcast and specific episode. The reverse happens at the end with audio clips of knife sharpening and plate placing as the listener would do after following along. Throughout the whole clip, I included light jazz with reduced gains to play quietly in the background.

Ulysses: Coming to a New Ear in the New Year

Ulysses Podcast is a derivative of “Martello Tower, Shenick Island” by Nikon Coolpix L840 and is licensed under CC BY CC0 1.0 . Downloaded 2/11/2021 and edited is Pixlr.

Have you ever wanted to read Ulysses but were too afraid? Maybe you were curious, but cautious that it might too highbrow? Come join us in the new year as we explore “the hardest book no one has ever read.” Every week, listen to a reading of each chapter during each episode and then we’ll discuss and ruminate over what we’ve read. This Monday, we’re kicking off with the first chapter (also called “Telemachus”), which takes place on the ocean at the Martello tower in Sandycove Point, Dublin, where James Joyce lived for a bit in his twenties.

“Ulysses: In a New Ear in the New Year” by Christopher Stevenson is licensed under CC BY CC0 1.0 and entered into the public domain.

For my podcast, I opened with Peakfiddler’s performance of “The Wind that Shakes the Barley” to give it an Irish flair. Given that the opening chapter of Ulysses takes place on the beach, I chose the sounds of crashing waves for to emulate where it takes place. I personally read the opening lines to the novel, mixed it with other sounds. I was still not happy with the recording, so I added Daniel Birch’s atmosphere, which brought some comfortable noise, which to my ear made the waves and voice sound more realistic.

Criminal Minds Fact vs Fiction

“Criminal Minds Fact vs Fiction” by Jillyann Sanchez-Herman licensed under Attribution Non-Commercial 4.0 International CC By-NC 4.0

My podcast talks about Fact vs Fiction when it comes to the tv show “Criminal Minds” and “The FBI Behavioral Unit”. In the show “Criminal Minds” the team is know as Profilers versus in the “The FBI Behavioral Unit” they are actually called Criminal Psychologist that have to have been working for the bureau for at least 7 years before anyone can apply to work in their Behavioral Unit.

“Criminal Minds” show closes criminal cases within days and for “The FBI Behavioral Unit it takes them weeks if not months to close a case. While the tv show does a great job of keeping audiences engaged the only thing factual on that show is the cases that mention real serial killers like “Ted Bundy”.

Health and life podcast is a platform where people can learn how to live a healthy life and feel more confident about themselves. People can learn about health, wellness, and life lessons daily from this podcast. I am passionate about empowering people to lead healthier lives that they can be proud of.

My recent episode discussed how to stay motivated. I used a soft music track with familiar sounds such as a cup of water being poured into it and stirring it. This is because, as a tea lover, I find those sounds to be soothing. The listener may feel more relaxed and calm after listening to it. Along with the music and those familiar sounds, I incorporated a calming voice to introduce the episode title, letting the listener know what to expect. Listeners who want to relax and feel at ease will find this podcast helpful.
