What Makes A Champion is a biweekly podcast in which I interview soccer coaches and players about what makes a championship team successful. Tune in as I go beyond the soccer field to try to understand all the work it takes to hold that championship trophy. This episode features soccer star Jody Brown from Jamaica, who already has a championship under her belt at the age of 19.
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.
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.

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.

“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” 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.
The podcast Parenting with love is a series designed to reach first time parents, providing them with some do’s and don’t as well as milestones throughout their children’s development. This podcast is designed for anyone but does target first time parents. This podcast will have guest speakers often that are parents that have gone through these stages and will have some professional guest speakers as well to help encourage parents as they approach the different phases of parenting and childhood.
In this podcast I have a baby and their parents laughing for sound effects, a soda can being opened in the background, some music, and voice (spoken word). The purpose of these chosen elements is to open up the podcast with laughter to give a big hint what the episode will be about. Raising children is difficult and fun and sometimes you just need to pop open a soda and relax.

Sound effects are used, such as the book flipping and high heels walking (inspired by her series). The music is uptempo inspired with the feeling of fashion/martini time/sex and the city vibes as this author writes characters in high fashion, famous cities, heels, luxurious brands, and fades out as my voice enters. Lastly, using my voice as my dialogue.
