For this imagined podcast it would be a weekly video game update. What news happened this week or what games were featured in stories this week. Featuring new releases or updates from companies. This podcast would be a comedic or light hearted one focusing more on a more personal narrative of what elements stood out for that given week. For the sounds I wanted a quick but fun intro that sort of faded into the voices without being a long drawn out introduction. If it was a real full length podcast it would probably go for about 10ish seconds. “Blippy Trance by Kevin MacLeod was the best match that I was able to find that gave me the right vibe. For the sound effect I wanted something comedic but not too distracting. I think if it was a full length podcast there would be hardly any sound effects if any at all since that can be cheesy and give more shock jock vibes than podcast.

This podcast makes use of sound effects, voice overs, and music. I used the “Highlight Reel Short” from iMovie as the introduction music as it was fitting for a sports related podcast. We gave our hosts Kevin “The Commish” and “Statman” Grant a round of light applause from our studio audience using “Clapping Crowd Studio 01” from iMovie. After fading the applause, our host Kevin “the Commish” opens with a greeting and introduction for “Statman” Grant as the guys get ready to talk about the upcoming weeks fantasy baseball action.

Off the Beaten Path

“Off the Beaten Path” by Angela Wylie (CC-BY-ND 4.0 license) is a derivative of “Second Beach, Olympic National Park, Washington” by Ralph Arvesen (CC BY-NC 2.0)

Off the Beaten Path is a monthly podcast produced by Angela Wylie that focuses on exploring out-of-the-way sites in the United States. Our goal is to get adventurous travelers away from the busy touristy locations and into the natural environment where they can experience the varied and stunning landscapes of the U.S. This episode is dedicated to Washington state’s Olympic Peninsula.

In this podcast episode, I incorporated music, a voice-over, and one sound effect. I used the music track alone at the beginning to bring the listener into the podcast, and then as background to complement the voice-over. I chose a piece that is upbeat and fun to support the theme of the podcast. The music and voice-over provide an introduction to the episode, and after a pause the voice-over picks up to begin the episode with the sound effect of a ferry horn in the background, both of which fade at the end of the excerpt. For the poster, I chose a photo from Olympic National Park that depicts a winding path through the forest. It gives a sense of getting started on a new adventure, and not knowing where it might take you. It also represents the outdoorsy theme of the podcast.

Kill Your Tongue For Fun

Today’s podcast is the premiere of the Ghost Pepper Challenge at my school. It will be a series of students and teachers eating peppers and trying to answer questions while lasting 5 minutes without milk, water or grapes. I recorded the audio and the water sound effect.

Let me know in the comments if you have ever heard of eating grapes to counteract spicy foods. Mostly, because I never have.

Most of them happen to use samples from other songs that were made before their time. Listen to my podcast “What’s da Sample?!?” to discover the original songs that your favorite bops came from. You’ll be surprised by what you already know and you just might want to add the original songs to your music library. So join me every Saturday as I quiz you on your music knowledge. Also, feel free to send me any songs and their samples that you think will stump/surprise other listeners.

In honor of Black History Month, we will be discussing samples from phenomenal black singers all month long. I’m super excited for this one so take a listen at Episode 31 and quiz yourself on this week’s sample.

“Local Legend” would be a podcast that is a mixture of true crime, history, and culture all set to the backdrop of geography. This could feature Civil War-era haunted houses in Charleston, South Carolina or a bank heist in Lincoln, Nebraska in the 1940s. We could cover everything from unsolved mysteries to famous residents and everything in between. I’d image that this could be a podcast enjoyed on a road trip or by locals of a particular city who want to get a kick out of their city being mentioned in an in-depth podcast.

In this audio I’ve used a combination of sounds of people talking that has been blurred together to create an ambient noise, music, and my voice-over introducing the podcast.

Morning Talk!

Morning Talk is like any other daily drive podcast except the main focus is on the variety of local sunrises and sunsets at any given moment. Episode three introduces one of its key guest speakers, a renowned expert on morning sunrises (as opposed to the lesser known but less beloved morning sunsets). While it may seem odd to others that a sunrise could possibly ignite guest speakers, it is a common occurrence amongst for the podcast host.

The podcast includes vocals provided by myself and a guest speaker. The other two sound effects include the sound of burning and gentle ocean waves. The ocean waves were the background noise provided to give the impression of recording at the beach. The sound faded out as speakers took over and only rose again as the burning sound effect took precedence. The burning was intended to arrive suddenly and linger towards the end.

Tales from Beyond the Veil

“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.

Bar Life podcast is a podcast about different liquors to try and different ways to have those liquors. With each podcast, we highlight new liquors that are out in different bars that you should try and how to drink that liquor whether it is to have it neat, on the rocks, warm, chilled, or mixed. 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.
