“Breaking Free: Running 4 Life” is a podcast I came up with after finishing a half-marathon – a dream I have had for many years. I never thought I would be able to actually obtain this dream, let alone run in general. I can still remember my very first run and the joy it brought me. My hope is that this podcast will encourage you to start something new. Running for freedom, running for purpose, running for victory – all these are ways to break free from whatever is holding us back and motivates us to persevere as we move forward. So open the door and run! Run to meet your destiny! Run to find your power! Run to renew your strength! Run to obtain the prize! Spread your wings of freedom and run, like a champion rejoicing to finish the course.

I decided that the start of the podcast would be a heartbeat, a reminder of where our courage and motivation comes from. It then flows into nature sounds, a representation of running outdoors; and then the pounding footsteps. The music was difficult to find as I had something very specific in mind. It took a lot of digging and researching to find the perfect fit. I hope you enjoy this short snippet of the podcast. Come run with me!

Small Town Mysteries Podcast

My Small Town Mysteries podcast is a true crime podcast where I dived into shocking but interesting crime stories from small towns throughout the United States every week. I was just talking to someone the other day about how the craziest stuff happens in small towns and its a rare chance that it hits the national news. Since these town are so small and sometimes far removed, a story has to be really shocking for it to hit the news. I am an avid listener of podcasts and I am from a small town, so it was a no brainer to create a podcast about the craziness of those small towns.

I chose to create what would be my intro episode, where I would be sharing with my new audience what my podcast is about before we dove into our case of the week. This would be before my theme music and introducing my first case. I chose mystery and haunting sounding music to go along with my true crime theme and placed a window breaking and baby crying sound effects within the audio to bring an emphasis to those areas.

I would like to hear from you about your thoughts! Share in the comments what comes to mind when listening to the audio. Does it make you want to tune in for an episode? 🙂

The Breathing Spaces podcast is a weekly podcast for everyday people who face different types of stress, whether it is at work, school, or home. It is meant for anyone to quickly listen anywhere at anytime and be able to reduce whatever stress they might be going through at that particular time in order to enable them successfully end the day on a good note. Workers might choose to listen on their lunch break to empower them throughout the rest of their work day. Every episode plays different sounds that transports listeners to different locations with different postures/stretches to do. This episode puts listeners next to a waterfall while they comfortably seat down and close their eyes or focus on a point.

This podcast contains a sound effect, speakers voice, and a soothing ambient sound. The included sound effect of a bell was used to launch the podcast as a way to bring listeners to a calm level. Then the ambient sound of waterfall was used throughout to keep listeners relaxed all through the podcast while they listen. As the sound of the bell is about to end, the ambient sound of the waterfall starts playing with the volume gradually increasing. It is then reduced to a subtle level once I started to speak, and left to run in the background to augment my voice and achieve the goal of providing tranquility to listeners while they meditate.

Ripping through Romance, ep. 5: Icebreaker

My hypothetical podcast is a personal book review podcast about romance novels of all types. I am a quick and argumentative romance reader, and my coworkers at the library joke that I should have a podcast about the books I read, so it was easy to land on this idea even though I don’t listen to podcasts. Each episode would be between twenty and thirty-five minutes, and go through my impressions of a romance novel or two. 

In this sample, I used my own narration combined with the sound of pages flipping, to introduce the book-based idea of the podcast; a quick burst of metal music, to jokingly emphasize that not all of my romance novel opinions are particularly nice; and the ambient sounds of an ice hockey rink, to play off of the book this podcast episode discusses. Transcript and credits below.

TRANSCRIPT: (pages riffling) Welcome back to Ripping Through Romance, where I lovingly and enthusiastically talk about romance novels. Unfortunately, in the proud tradition of regency romance readers everywhere, I may be kind of a stickler and occasionally even an edgelord. (guitar riff)

This episode, we’ll be thinking about Icebreaker, (background sounds of an ice rink) by R. A. Graziadei, a recent YA or perhaps new adult novel. It’s a rivalry romance between two college freshmen who are both projected to go at the top of the next NHL draft. To my enduring chagrin, I am in fact a hockey fan….

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.

The podcast “Off the Beaten Path: Olympic Peninsula” by Angela Wylie is licensed under CC-BY-ND 4.0.

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.

“What’s da Sample?!? Cover” by Cameron Chisolm is a derivative of “Headphones” by blacklerphotos is licensed under CC BY 2.0 Originally downloaded 2/15/2022 and edited with Canva photo editor.

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.
