I struggled quite a bit with writing a script I liked and then figuring out what assets to use. I still could not come up with a sound effect or an ambient sound to use, so if you have a suggestion, that would be greatly appreciated.

This podcast is called “Chance Encounters” as a reference to the way that Surrealists drew inspiration from the magical feeling of a particularly strange coincidence. As someone who studied both art and philosophy, I have complicated feelings about logic and common sense, and I thought that a podcast where I could talk about anything nonsensical could cover most things I might want to discuss. In general, I wanted a podcast about the ways that people throughout history have responded to and expressed realities that defy explanation. My idea for a first episode, for instance, was on the origins of Dadaism and what it does and doesn’t have in common with Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha humor.

My imaginary podcast series is essentially a digital book club. The idea is that each episode would discuss a different book that I have read along with the podcast listeners. The sound elements in this project include intro music, spoken word, and the sound effect of a cat meowing. The cat meowing would act as a transition sound for each audio clip in the episode.

The sounds in this podcast help create a cozy, nostalgic vibe. My voice as the speaker carries the spoken word and dialogue, keeping things grounded. It kicks off with the classic sound of a needle dropping on a vinyl, setting the tone with a vintage feel. Toward the end of the clip, I added the warm, fuzzy crackle you hear from a turntable to give it that familiar vinyl warmth. There’s also a laid-back jazzy melody at 88 beats per minute playing throughout, which rounds out the relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Altogether, the sounds blend to create a vibe perfect for kicking back and diving into the world of vinyl.
